When To Add Engine Oil - Chevrolet 2002 Malibu Owner's Manual

When to Add Engine Oil

If the oil is at or below the ADD line, 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" 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.
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 front of the
engine compartment by
the engine oil dipstick.
See "Engine Compartment
Overview" in the Index
for more information
on location.
