When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is at or below the lower mark for the 3.2L V6
engine or below the cross-hatched area at the tip of the
dipstick for the 3.6L V6 and 5.7L V8 engines, then
you will need to add at least one quart of oil. But you
must use the right kind. This section explains what kind
of oil to use. For engine oil crankcase capacity, see
Capacities and Speci cations on page 5-111.
Notice:Do not 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.SeeEngine Compartment Overview on page 5-12
for the location of the engine oil ll cap.
Be sure to add enough oil to put the level somewhere
in the proper operating range. Push the dipstick all
the way back in when you are through. 5.7L V8 Engine
