When
to
Add
Oil
What
Kind
of
Oil
to
Use
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.
Oils
of
the proper quality for your vehicle can be
identified by looking for the “Starburst” symbol. The
“Starburst” symbol indicates that the
oil
has been
certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API), and
is preferred
for
use in your gasoline engine.
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.
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
ihto 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:
