Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a paper towel or cloth, then push it back in all the way. Remove it again, keeping the tip down, and check the level. 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. Remove the engine oil fill cap to add oil to your vehicle's engine. You can locate the engine oil fill cap on the passenger side of the engine in the engine compartment. For more information on location, see "Engine Compartment Overview" in the Index. When to Add Engine Oil If the oil is at or below the ADD line, 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. 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. 6-11
