4. Pull the dipstick out and look at the oil level on the end.
If it is between the full line ( ) and the low line ( ), it
is O.K.
If the oil level is below or only slightly above the low
level mark, add engine oil of the same type already in
the engine.
Remove the oil filler cap and add engine oil a little at a time,
checking the dipstick. The approximate quantity of oil
needed to fill between the low line and the full line on the
dipstick is indicated below for reference.
When the level reaches within the correct range, return the
filler cap and turn the cap clockwise until you hear a click.

adding oil.
