When To Add Engine Oil; What Kind Of Engine Oil To Use - Chevrolet 2006 Epica Owner's Manual

When to Add Engine Oil

If the oil is below the lower hole at the tip of the
dipstick (B), 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 5-83.
Notice: Do not add too much oil. If your engine has
so much oil that the oil level gets above the upper
hole (A) that shows the proper operating range,
your engine could be damaged.
See Engine Compartment Overview on page 5-12
for the location of the engine oil fill cap.
Be sure to add enough oil to put the level somewhere
in the proper operating range, between the holes on
the dipstick. Push the dipstick all the way back in
when you are through.
