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
crankcase capacity, see "Capacities and Specifications"
in the Index.

much oil that the oil level gets above the
cross-hatched area that shows the proper
operating range, your engine could be damaged.
Be sure to
fill

enough to put the level somewhere i n
the proper operating range. Push the dipstick all the way
back in when you're through.
