When To Add Engine Oil - Pontiac Aztek 2003 Owner's Manual

When to Add Engine Oil

If the oil is at or below the cross-hatched area at the tip
of the dipstick, 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 on
page 5-98 .
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.
See Engine Compartment Overview on page 5-10 for
more information on location.
Be sure to fill it enough to put the level somewhere in
the proper operating range in the cross-hatched
area. Push the dipstick all the way back in when you're
through.
The engine oil fill cap is
located just behind the
engine oil dipstick.
