oil capacities PONTIAC BONNEVILLE 2003 Owners Manual

When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is at or below the cross-hatched area at the tip
of the dipstick, then you’ll need to add at least one
quart
of oil. But you must use the right kind. This part
explains what kind
of oil to use. For engine oil crankcase
capacity, see
Capacities and Specifications on
page 5- 100.
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.

The engine oil fill cap is
located near the engine oil
dipstick. See
Engine
Compartment Overview on
page
5-14 for more
information on location.
Be sure to
fill it enough to put the level somewhere in
the proper operating range in the cross-hatched
area. Push the dipstick
all the way back in when
you’re through.
