When to Add Oil
If the oil is at or below the ADD line, 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
cross-hatched area that shows the proper
operating range, your engine could be damaged.
Use the engine oil fill cap next to the oil dipstick to add
oil.
Just 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.
