When To Add Engine Oil - Cadillac ESCALADE EXT 2002 Manual

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.
Your vehicle's engine oil fill cap will have either text
and a graphic or only a graphic, as shown.
The engine oil fill cap is located on the valve cover on
the passenger's side of the vehicle. See "Engine
Compartment Overview" in the Index for further
location information.
Be sure to fill it enough to put the level somewhere in
the proper operating range. Push the dipstick all the way
back in when you're through.
