When To Add Engine Oil - GMC 2003 Savana Owner's Manual

When to Add Engine Oil

If the oil is at or below the cross-hatched area at the tip
of the dipstick, 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 on
page 5-102 .
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.
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 filler cap is
located between the
coolant recovery tank and
the engine air cleaner/filter.
