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 5-103.
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
