Checking Engine Oil
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.
When to Add Oil
If the oil is at or below the upper mark, then you’ll need
to add some 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.
Turn
off the engine and give the oil 20 minutes to drain
back into the oil pan. If you don’t, the oil dipstick might
not show the actual 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.
