Checking Engine Oil

keeping the tip down, and check the level.

When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is at or below the lower 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 toward the front of the
-
engine near the yellow looped engine oil dipstick.
