• If the oil level is between the ADD and FULL marks (4.0L
engines) or between the MIN and MAX marks (5.0L engines)
the oil level is acceptable. DO NOT ADD OIL.
• If the oil level is below the ADD
mark (4.0L engines) or MIN mark
(5.0L engines), add enough oil to
raise the level within the
ADD-FULL range (4.0L engines)
or MIN-MAX range (5.0L
engines).
• Oil levels above the letter F in FULL (4.0L engines) or the MAX mark
(5.0L engines) may cause engine damage. Some oil must be removed
from the engine by a service technician.
7. Put the indicator back in and ensure it is fully seated.
Adding engine oil
1. Check the engine oil. For instructions, refer to Checking the engine
oil in this chapter.
2. If the fluid level is not within the normal range, add only certified
engine oil of the preferred viscosity. Add engine oil through the oil filler
cap. Remove the filler cap and use a funnel to pour oil in the opening.
3. Recheck the oil level. Make sure the oil level is not above the MAX
mark or the letter F in FULL on the dipstick.
