If the oil is below the cross-hatched area (L)
for the 4.2L L6 engine or below the
cross-hatched area at the tip of the dipstick for
the 5.3L V8 engine, you will need to add at least
one quart/liter of oil. But you must use the
right kind. This section explains what kind of oil
to use. For engine oil crankcase capacity,
see Capacities and Specifications on page 445.
Notice: Do not add too much oil. If the engine
has so much oil that the oil level gets above
the cross-hatched area (F) that shows the
proper operating range for the 4.2L L6 engine
or above the cross-hatched area for the
5.3L V8 engine, the engine could be damaged.
See Engine
Compartment Overview
on page 330 for the
location of the engine
oil fill cap.
Be sure to add enough oil to put the level
somewhere in the proper operating range.
Push the dipstick all the way back in when
you are through.
