Checking
Engine
Oil
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
ADD
line, 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.
I
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
oil
fill
cap is located
behind the radiator on the
passenger’s side of the
engine.
Turn
the cap to the
left to remove it.
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.
