Checking Engine Oil
It is 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.
The engine oil dipstick is
located in the engine
compartment on the
driver’s side of the vehicle.
Turn off the engine and give the oil several minutes to
drain back into the oil pan. If you don’t, the oil
dipstick might not show the actual level.
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 Engine Oil
If the oil is at or below the cross-hatched area at the tip
of the dipstick, 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, seeCapacities and Specications
on page 5-93.
Notice:Do not 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.

When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is at or below the cross-hatched area at the tip
of the dipstick for the 6.6L V8 (LB7/LLY) engines,
then you will need to add at least two quarts of oil. If the
oil is at or below the A mark for the 7.8L L6 (LG4)
engine, 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, seeCapacities and Specications on
page 5-93.
Notice:Do not add too much oil. If your engine has
so much oil that the oil level gets above the
cross-hatched area for the 6.6L V8 (LB7/LLY)
engines or above the F mark for the 7.8L L6 (LG4)
engine, your engine could be damaged.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.6.6L V8 (LB7) Engine
