When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is below the cross-hatched area at the tip
of the dipstick for the 3.6L V6 engine or below
the indentation at the tip of the dipstick for the 4.6L V8
engine, 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 5-109.
Notice: Do not add too much oil. If your engine has
so much oil that the oil level gets above the upper
mark 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.
Be sure to add enough oil to put the level somewhere
in the proper operating range. Push the dipstick all
the way back in when you are through.
