When to Add Engine Oil

If the oil is at or below the cross-hatched area at the tip
of the dipstick, then you will need to add at least one quart
of oil. But you must use the right kind. This section
explains what kind of oil to use. For engine oil crankcase
capacity,

see

Capacities

and

Specifications

on

page 5-107.

Notice: Do not add too much oil. If your engine has
so much oil that the oil level gets above the
cross-hatched area that shows the proper operating
range, your engine could be damaged.

See Engine Compartment
Overview
on page 5-12
for the location of the
engine oil fill cap.

Turn the cap counterclockwise to remove it.

Be sure to add enough oil to put the level somewhere in
the proper operating range in the cross-hatched area.
Push the dipstick all the way back in when you are
through.
