engine oil capacity CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1994 Owners Manual

Engine Oil (Except Diesel)
It's a good idea to check your engine oil every time you get fuel. In order to
get an accurate reading, the oil must be warm and the vehicle must be on
level ground.
Turn
off the engine
and give the oil a few
minutes to drain
back r"' ' '
1 into the oil pan. If you
don't, the oil dipstick
might not show the
actual level.
To Check Engine Oil
I
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 lower.
When to Add Oil
If the oil is at or below the ADD mark, then you'll need to add some oil. But
you must use the right kind. This section explains what kind of oil to use.
For crankcase capacity,
see "Capacities and Specifications" in the Index.

When to Add Oil
If the oil is at or below the ADD line, then you’ll need to add some oil. But
you must use the right kind. This section explains what kind
of oil to use.
For crankcase capacity, see “Capacities and Specifications”
in the Index.
NOTICE:
Don’t add too much oil. If your engine has so much oil that the
oil level gets above the proper operating range,
your engine
could be damaged.
The engine oil filler
cap
is located on a
filler tube at the front
of the engine.
Just
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.
