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
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.
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.
