Turn off the engine
and give the oil a few
minutes to drain back
into the oil pan. If you
don't, the oil dipstick
might not show the
actual level.
To Check Engine Oil
Pull out the dipstick and clean
it
with a paper towel or cloth, then push it
back in all the way. Remove
it
again, keeping the tip down.
When to Add Oil
If the oil is at or below the ADD mark, 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.
NOTICE:
Don't add too much oil. If your engine has
so
much oil that the
oil level gets above the upper mark that shows the proper
operating range, your engine could be damaged.
