more information on location.
Turn off the engine and give the oil several minutes to
drain back into the oil pan. If you don’t, the oil
dipstick might not show the actual level.
Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a paper towel or
cloth, then push it back in all the way. Remove it again,
keeping the tip down, and check the level.
When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is at or below the hole at the tip of the dipstick,
then you’ll need to add up to two quarts of oil. But
you must use the right kind. This part explains what kind
of oil to use. For engine oil crankcase capacity, see
Capacities and Specifications on page 5-93.
Notice: Don’t 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.
The engine oil fill cap is
located in the front of the
engine compartment.

Be sure to fill it enough to put the level near the upper
hole in the dipstick. Push the dipstick all the way
back in when you’re through.
