Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a paper towel or
cloth, then push it back in all the way. Remove it again,

When to Add Engine Oil

If the oil is at or below the ADD mark then you'll need
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
engine oil 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 hatched area that shows the proper
operating range, your engine could be damaged.
