2. Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a paper towel
or a cloth, then push it back in all the way.
3. Remove the dipstick again, keeping the tip down,
and check the oil level.
When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is below the cross-hatched area at the tip
of the dipstick, add at least two quarts/liters of
the recommended oil. This section explains what kind
of oil to use. For engine oil crankcase capacity, see
Capacities and Specifications on page 5-102.
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.Add oil at the engine oil fill
cap in the engine
compartment. Install and
fully tighten the fill cap
when you are through.
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.

When to Add Engine Oil
Notice:Do not add too much oil. Keep the oil level
between the ADD (C) and FULL (B) marks on the
dipstick. Under normal engine operation, the engine
oil level can increase above the FULL (B) mark as
a result of DPF regeneration. A small increase in the
oil level is normal. If the engine has so much oil
that the oil level reaches the wider portion (A) on the
dipstick, the engine oil must be changed as soon
as possible or the engine could be damaged.
If the oil is below the ADD
mark (C) on the dipstick,
add at least one quart/liter
of the recommended oil.This section explains what kind of oil to use. For engine
oil crankcase capacity, seeCapacities and
Specifications on page 5-102.
Add oil at the engine oil fill
cap in the engine
compartment. Install and
fully tighten the fill cap
when you are through.
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.
