When to Add Engine Oil

L4 Engine
V6 Engine
If the oil is below the MIN mark for the L4 engine or
below the cross-hatched area at the tip of the dipstick
for the V6 engine, add at least one quart/liter of the
recommended oil. This section explains what kind of oil
to use. For engine oil crankcase capacity, see Capacities
and Specifications on page 6-114.
6-20
Notice: Do not add too much oil. If the engine
has so much oil that the oil level gets above the
upper mark that shows the proper operating range,
the engine could be damaged.
Add enough oil to put the level somewhere in the proper
operating range. Push the dipstick all the way back in
when through.
See Engine Compartment
Overview on page 6-14
for the location of the
engine oil fill cap.
