When to Add Oil
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
section 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

cross-hatched area that shows the proper
operating range, your engine could be damaged.
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.
