A CHECK OIL LEVEL message will appear whcn the engine oil is
approximately a quart low. If the message is displayed, check the dipstick
level
and add oil as needed.
It's
a good idea to check your engine oil every time you get fuel. In order
to get
an accurate reading, the oil must be warm and the vehicle must be
on level ground.
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 part 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 upper mark that shows the proper
operating range, your engine could be damaged.
To remove, turn the
oil fill cap
counterclockwise.
Just
fill it enough to put the level somewhere in the propcr operating
rangc. Push
the dipstick all the way back in when you’re through.
