When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is below the L mark for the L6 engine or
the cross-hatched area at the tip of the dipstick for
the V8 engine, you will need to add at least one
quart/liter 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
Speci cations on page 5-102.
Notice:Do not add too much oil. If your engine has
so much oil that the oil level gets above the
cross-hatched area (F) that shows the proper
operating range for the L6 engine or above the
cross-hatched area for the V8 engine, your engine
could be damaged.
SeeEngine Compartment
Overview on page 5-12for
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. L6 Engine
