When To Add Engine Oil - GMC 2009 Savana Van Owner's Manual

When to Add Engine Oil

If the oil is below the cross-hatched area at the tip
of the dipstick, add at least one quart/liter of the
recommended oil. This section explains what kind
of oil to use. For engine oil crankcase capacity,
see Capacities and Specifications on page 5-110.
Notice: Do not add too much oil. If the engine
has so much oil that the oil level gets above the
cross-hatched area that shows the proper operating
range, the engine could be damaged.
5-16
Add enough oil to put the level somewhere in the proper
operating range. Push the dipstick all the way back in
when through.
See Engine Compartment
Overview on page 5-14
for the location of the
engine oil fill cap.
