 Adding engine oil
If the oil level is below or near
the low level mark, add engine
oil of the same type as already in
the engine.
Make sure to check the oil type and prepare the items needed before
adding oil.
Remove the oil filler cap, turning it counterclockwise.
Add engine oil slowly.
Checking the dipstick.
Reinstall the filler cap, turning it clockwise.
The approximate quantity of oil needed to raise the level between low and
full on the dipstick is indicated as follows:
1.6 qt. (1.5 L, 1.3 lmp. qt.)

Recommended viscosity
SAE 5W−30 is the best choice for
good fuel economy, and good
starting in cold weather.
*: If SAE 5W−30 oil is not avail−
able, SAE 10W−30 oil may be
used. However, it should be
replaced with SAE 5W−30 at
the next oil change.
