When to
Add
Oil
If
the
oil
is at or below
the
ADD
line, then you’ll need
to
add
some
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.
Just
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
recom~nended 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:
