Add engine oil through the oil filler cap highlighted in yellow.
To add oil, remove the filler cap and use a funnel to pour oil
into the opening. Be careful not to overfill the engine. Recheck
the oil level after you finish adding oil.
Nearly all engines will consume engine oil. As a result, it may
be necessary to add some oil between oil changes.
