Checking  Engine Oil 
Pull out the,dipstick  and  clean  it  with a paper  towel or 
cloth,  then  push it back  in  all  the  way, Remove  it  again, 
keeping  the  tip  down,  and  check  the  level. 
When to Add Oil 
If  the  oil  is  at or  below  the  upper  mark,  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. 
Turn 
off the  engine  and  give  the  oil 20 minutes  to  drain 
back  into  the  oil  pan.  If you  don’t,  the  oil  dipstick  might 
not show  the  actual  level. 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.
