Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counterclockwise.
Add engine oil slowly, checking the dipstick.

Engine oil consumption
A certain amount of engine oil will be consumed while driving. In the following
situations, oil consumption may increase, and engine oil may need to be refilled
in between oil maintenance intervals.
When the engine is new, for example directly after purchasing the vehicle or
after replacing the engine
If low quality oil or oil of an inappropriate viscosity is used
When driving at high engine speeds or with a heavy load, or when driving
while accelerating or decelerating frequently
When leaving the engine idling for a long time, or when driving frequently
through heavy traffic
