When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is below the MIN (minimum) mark, 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 6‑125.
Notice: Do not add too much oil. If the engine has
so much oil that the oil level gets above the upper
mark that shows the proper operating range, the
engine could be damaged.

hand until the wheel is held against the hub.
10. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack handle counterclockwise. Lower the jack completely.
{WARNING:
Wheel nuts that are improperly or incorrectly
tightened can cause the wheels to become loose
or come off. The wheel nuts should be tightened
with a torque wrench to the proper torque
specification after replacing. Follow the torque
specification supplied by the aftermarket
manufacturer when using accessory locking wheel
nuts. See Capacities and Specifications
on
page 6‑125
for original equipment wheel nut
torque specifications.
Notice: Improperly tightened wheel nuts can lead to
brake pulsation and rotor damage. To avoid
expensive brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel
nuts in the proper sequence and to the proper
torque specification. See Capacities and
Specifications
on page 6‑125for the wheel nut torque
specification.
