Checking 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, and check the level.
When
to
Add Engine Oil
If the oil is at or below the ADD 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 just behind the
engine
oil dipstick.
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.
