When to Add Engine Oil

If the oil is below the cross-hatched area at the tip
of the dipstick, you will need to add at least
one quart/liter 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 436.

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

See Engine
Compartment Overview
on page 348 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 in the
cross-hatched area. Push the dipstick all the
way back in when you are through.

SAE 5W-30 may not

appear on all caps.
