1994 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD oil dipstick

To Check Engine Oil
Turn off the engine and give the oil a few minutes to drain back into the
oil pan. If you don't, the oil dipstick might not show the actual level.
I Pull out the dipstick
slightly. Pinch the end
of the dipstick tube as
you remove the
dipstick to wipe the oil
from it. Then push it
all the way back in.
Now remove it without
pinching the tube,
keeping the tip lower.

When to Add Oil
If the oil is at or below the ADD line, then you’ll need to add some oil.
But you must use the right kind. This section explains what kind
of oil to
use.
For crankcase capacity, see “Capacities and Specifications” in the
Index.

NOTICE:
Don’t add too much oil. If your engine has so much oil that the
oil level gets above the cross-hatched area that shows the proper
operating range, your engine could be damaged.
