When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is below the lower hole at the tip of
the dipstick (B), you 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 Specifications on page 352.Notice:Do not add too much oil. If the
engine has so much oil that the oil level
gets above the upper hole (A) that shows
the proper operating range, the engine could
be damaged.
SeeEngine Compartment Overview on page 258
for the location of the engine oil fill cap.
Be sure to add enough oil to put the level
somewhere in the proper operating range, between
the holes on the dipstick. Push the dipstick all
the way back in when you are through.
