When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is at the lower mark at the
tip of the dipstick, add 1 L (1 qt) of
the recommended oil and then
recheck the level. See “Selecting

Do not add too much oil. Oil
levels above or below the
acceptable operating range
shown on the dipstick are harmful
to the engine. If you find that you
have an oil level above the
operating range, the engine could
be damaged. You should drain
out the excess oil or limit driving
of the vehicle and seek a service
professional to remove the
excess amount of oil.
