When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is at or below the cross-hatched area at the tip
of the dipstick, 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 5-103.
Notice: Do not add too much oil. If your engine has
so much oil that the oil level gets above the
cross-hatched area 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 dipstick.
Be sure to add enough oil to put the level somewhere in
the proper operating range in the crosshatched area.
Push the dipstick all the way back in when you are
through.
