Do not add engine oil
when the engine is hot. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in personal
injury. WARNING: Do not remove the filler
cap when the engine is running.
Do not use supplemental engine oil
additives because they are unnecessary
and could lead to engine damage that the
vehicle warranty may not cover.
1. Clean the area surrounding the engine oil filler cap before you remove it.
2. Remove the engine oil filler cap.
3. Add engine oil that meets our specifications.
See Capacities and
Specifications (page 156).
4. Reinstall the engine oil filler cap. Turn it clockwise until you feel a strong
resistance.
Note: Make sure you install the oil filler cap
correctly.
Note: Do not add oil further than the
maximum mark. Oil levels above the
maximum mark may cause engine damage.
