When To Add Engine Oil - GMC Chevrolet SSR 2003 Owner's Manual

When to Add Engine Oil

If the oil is at or below the hole 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 5-90.
Notice: Do not add too much oil. If your engine has
so much oil that the oil level gets above the upper
hole, your engine could be damaged.
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.
The engine oil fill cap is
located in the engine
compartment toward the
passenger's side of
the vehicle. See Engine
Compartment Overview
on page 5-12 for more
