When
to
Add
Oil
If
the oil is at or below the ADD line, then you’ll need
to add some oil. But
you
must use the right kind. This
section 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
cross-hatched area that shows the proper
operating range, your engine could be damaged.
Use the engine oil fill cap next to the oil dipstick
to
add
oil.
Just 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.
What
Kind
of
Oil
to Use
Beginning midyear
1993,
oils
of
the proper quality for
your vehicle will be identified with this new “starburst”
symbol. The “starburst” symbol indicates that the oil has
been certified by the American Petroleum Institute
(API), and
is
preferred for use in your gasoline engine.
You should look for this on the front
of
the oil container,
and use
only
oils
that display this new symbol.
You should also use the proper viscosity oil for your
vehicle, as shown
in
the following chart:
