ENGINE OIL FILL CAP
Unscrew and remove the engine oil
fill cap on top of the valve cover.
Pour in the oil slowly and carefully so
you do not spill. Clean up any spills
immediately. Spilled oil could
damage components in the engine
compartment. Install the engine oil
fill cap and tighten it securely. Wait a
few minutes and recheck the oil level
(see page
161
). Do not fill above the
upper mark on the dipstick; you
could damage the engine.
