c. If the engine oil level is below the add line, indicated by the letter “A” on the dipstick,
carefully add the proper amount of oil through the engine oil ller (Item 1, Figure
4–3). The correct SAE viscosity grade of oil is determined by the minimum ambient
temperature during cold engine start-up, and the maximum ambient temperature during
operation. The engine is lled at the factory with Chevron Delo 400 Multigrade SAE
15W-40. The recommended ambient temperature range for this oil is 14° F (-10° C)
minimum to 122° F (50° C) maximum. Refer to the engine Operation and Maintenance
Manual for additional information on the proper selection of engine oil.
NOTE: Make sure to reinstall and secure the oil ller cap.

e. Make sure to securely reinstall the dipstick into the dipstick tube before starting the
engine.
