When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is below the MIN mark for the L4 engine or below
the cross-hatched area at the tip of the dipstick for the
V6 engine, you will need to add at least one quart/liter of
oil. But you must use the right kind. This section explains
what kind of oil to use. For engine oil crankcase capacity,
seeCapacities and Specications on page 5-107.Notice:Do not add too much oil. If your engine has
so much oil that the oil level gets above the upper
mark that shows the proper operating range,
your engine could be damaged.
SeeEngine Compartment

Be sure to 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. L4 Engine
