When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is below the indent at the tip of the dipstick,
add at least one quart/liter of the recommended oil.
This section explains what kind of oil to use. For engine
oil crankcase capacity, seeCapacities and
Specifications on page 5-95.
Notice:Do not add too much oil. If the engine
has so much oil that the oil level gets above the
upper hole, the 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.
