When To Add Oil; What Kind Of Oil To Use - Chevrolet 1995 S-10 Pickup Owner's Manual

When to Add Oil
If the oil is at or below the ADD line, then you'll need to add some 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.
I
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 filler cap is located on the driver's side engine valve cover.
Just 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.
What Kind of Oil to Use
Oils of the proper quality for your vehicle can be identified by looking for
the "Starburst" symbol. The "Starburst" symbol indicates that the oil has
been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API), and is preferred
for use in your gasoline engine.
If you change your own oil, be sure you use oil that has the "Starburst"
symbol on the front of the oil container. If you have your oil changed for
you, be sure the oil put into your engine is American Petroleum Institute
certified for gasoline engines.
