When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is below the cross-hatched area, 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 engine oil 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 located just behind the engine
oil dipstick. Your vehicle may have a cap with text and a
graphic or just a graphic as shown above. See “Engine
Compartment Overview” in the Index for more
information on location.
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.
