1997 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO oil capacities

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Checking Engine Oil
If you have the 3.4L DOHC engine (VIN Code X),
allow up to 20 minutes for the oil to drain back into the
oil pan.
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 lower mark, then you’ll need
to add at least one quart of 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.
I 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.
