and give the oil
a few
minutes
to drain back
into the oil pan.

don’t, the oil dipstick
might not show the
actual level.
To Check 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.
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 part 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 upper mark that shows the proper
operating range,
your engine could be damaged.

Air Conditioning Refrigerants
Not all air conditioning refrigerants are the same. If the air conditioning
system
in your vehicle needs refrigerant, be sure the proper refrigerant is
used.
If you’re not sure, ask your GM dealer. For additional information, see
your “Warranty and Owner Assistance Information’’ booklet.
NOTICE:
R-134A refrigerant is not compatible with R-12 refrigerant in
an air conditioning system. R-12 in an R-134A system will cause
compressor failure, refrigerant oil sludge, or poor air
conditioning system performance.
