When to Add Engine Oil

All Except 8.1L Engine

If the oil is below the cross-hatched area at the tip of

the dipstick, you will need to add at least one quart/liter

of oil. But you must use the right kind. This section

explains what kind of oil to use. For engine oil crankcase

capacity, see Capacities and Speciﬁcations on

Notice: Do not add too much oil. If the engine has

so much oil that the oil level gets above the

cross-hatched area that shows the proper operating

range, the engine could be damaged.

Be sure to add enough oil to put the level somewhere in

the proper operating range. Push the dipstick all the

way back in when you are through.

See Engine Compartment

Overview on page 5-14 for

the location of the
