When to Add Engine Oil

If the oil is below the MIN mark for the L4 engine or

below the cross-hatched area at the tip of the dipstick

for the V6 engine, you will need to add at least one

quart/liter of oil. But you must use the right kind.

This section explains what kind of oil to use.

For engine oil crankcase capacity, see Capacities

and Speciﬁcations on page 5-107.

Notice: Do not add too much oil. If your engine has

so much oil that the oil level gets above the upper

mark that shows the proper operating range,

your engine could be damaged.

Be sure to add enough oil to put the level somewhere in

the proper operating range. Push the dipstick all the

way back in when you are through.

See Engine Compartment

Overview on page 5-12

for the location of the

engine oil ﬁll cap.
