When
to
Add Oil
If
the oil is at or below the lower 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 upper mark 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.
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
(MI).
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:
