When to Add Engine Oil

If the oil is at or below the ADD mark, then you’ll need
to add at least one quart of oil. But you must use the
right kind. This part explains what kind of oil to use. For
crankcase capacity, see “Capacities and Specifications”
in the Index.

NOTICE:

Don’t add too much oil. If your engine has so
much oil that the oil level gets above the FULL
mark that shows the proper operating range,
your engine could be damaged.

The engine oil fill cap is
located toward the front of
the engine compartment
near the yellow looped
engine oil dipstick. See
“Engine Compartment
Overview” in the Index
for more information
on location.

Be sure to fill it enough to put the level somewhere in
the proper operating range. Push the dipstick all the way
back in when you’re through.
