(VIN

allow up to

20

minutes for the oil to drain back into the

oil pan.

Pull out the dipstick and clean it with

a

paper towel or

keeping the tip down, and check the level.

When

to

Add

Oil

If

the

oil is at or

below

the

lower

mark,

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

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

cross-hatched area that shows the proper

operating range, your engine could be damaged.
