When to Add Engine Oil

If the oil is below the indent at
the tip of the dipstick, add at least
one quart/liter of the recommended
oil. This section explains what kind of
oil to use. For engine oil crankcase
capacity, see Capacities and
Specifications on page 10-2
.

Notice: Do not add too much oil.
If the engine has so much oil
that the oil level gets above the
upper hole, the engine could
be damaged.

See Engine Compartment Overview
on page 9-6
for the location of
the engine oil fill cap.

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.
