Cadillac 1998 Eldorado - Checking Engine Oil; When to Add Engine Oil

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.
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.
