When To Add Engine Oil - Cadillac 2002 Escalade Owner's 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
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.
The engine oil fill cap is located on the valve cover on
the passenger's side of the vehicle. Your vehicle may
have a cap with text and a graphic or just a graphic as
shown above. 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.
