To Check Engine Oil
Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a paper towel or cloth, then push it
back in all the way. Remove it again, keeping the tip lower, and check the
level.
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 much
oil
that the
oil
level gets above the cross-hatch area that shows the proper
operating range, your engine could be damaged.
