6-23 When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is at or below the cross-hatched area, 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 ªCapacities
and Specificationsº 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 upper mark that shows
the proper operating range, your engine could
be damaged.
The engine oil fill cap is
located near the engine oil
dipstick in the engine
compartment, on the
driver's side of the vehicle.
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
Look for these two things:

CH
-4
Oils designated as API CH
-4 are best for your
vehicle. The CH
-4 designation may appear either
alone or in combination with other API designations,
such as API CH
-4/SJ or CH-4/CG-4/SJ.
These letters show American Petroleum Institute
(API) levels of quality.
NOTICE:
If you use oil that doesn't have this designation,
CH
-4, you can cause engine damage which is not
covered by your warranty.
