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.

Add engine oil at the engine oil fill cap next to the

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.

What Kind of Engine Oil to Use

Oils recommended for your vehicle can be identified by

looking for the starburst symbol.

This symbol indicates that the oil has been certified by

the American Petroleum Institute (API). Do not use any

oil which does not carry this starburst symbol.

If you change your own oil,

be sure you use oil that has

the starburst symbol on the

front of the oil container.

If you have your oil

changed for you, be sure

the oil put into your engine

is American Petroleum

Institute certified for

gasoline engines.

You should also use the proper viscosity oil for your

vehicle, as shown in the following chart:

1 2 ... 271 272 273 274 275 276 277 278 279 280 281 ... 391 392
