Oil
If
the oil is at or below the cross-hatched area
at
the
tip
of
the dipstick, then you’ll need to add at least one
I
quart
of
oil. But you must use the right kind. This part
explains what kind
of
oil to use. For engine oil crankcase

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 behind the radiator
~

the passenger’s side
of
the vehicle. For
more information on
location, see

Turn the cap counterclockwise to remove it.
Be sure to
fill
it enough to put the level somewhere in
the proper operating range in the cross-hatched
area. Push the dipstick all the way back in when you’re
through.
