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.
The engine oil filler cap is located on the driver’s side
engine valve cover.
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.
What
Kind
of
Oil
to
Use
Oils recommended for your vehicle can
be
identified
by looking for the “Starburst” symbol. This symbol
indicates that the oil has been certified by the American
Petroleum Institute (API).
Do
not use any oil which
does not carry ,this Starburst symbol.
If you change your own oil,
be sure you use oil that has
the Starburst symbol on the
front
of
the
oil
container.
If
you
have your oil changed for you, be sure the oil put
into your engine is American Petroleum Institute
certified for gasoline engines.
You
should also use the proper viscosity
oil
for your
vehicle, as shown in the following chart:
