When to
Add
Oil
If the oil is at or below the
ADD
mark, 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
cross-hatched area that shows the proper
operating range, your engine could be damaged.
The engine oil
fill
cap is behind the engine oil dipstick
and engine fans.
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.
What
Kind
of
Oil
to
Use
Oils recommended for your vehicle can be identified by
looking for the “Starburst” symbol. This symbol
indicates that the oil has been certified by the American
Petroleum Institute (API).
Do
not use any oil which
does not carry
this
Starburst symbol.
If
you change your own oil,
be sure you use oil that has
the Starburst symbol on the
front
of
the oil container.
If
you have your oil changed
for you, be sure the oil put
into your engine is
American Petroleum
Institute certified for
gasoline engines.
You should
also
use the proper viscosity oil for your
vehicle, as shown in the following chart:
