When to Add Engine Oil

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 page 5-115.

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 5-12

for the location of the

engine oil ﬁll cap.
