When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is at or below the cross-hatched area at the tip
of the dipstick, 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 engine oil crankcase
capacity, see
Capacities and Specifications on
page 5- 100.
Nofice: 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. The engine oil
fill cap
is
located near the front of
the engine compartment.
See
Engine Compartment
Overview on page
5-14
for more information
on location.
Be sure to
fill it enough to put the level somewhere in
the proper operating range. Push the dipstick all the way
back in when you’re through.
