Engine Oil and Filter
Checking
Check the engine oil a couple of minutes after shutting the engine
off, with the car parked on level ground. Remove the dipstick
(orange marking) and wipe it clean. Re-insert it all the way down,
then pull it out and read the level. The level should be between the
upper and lower marks.
Adding
If the level has dropped close to the lower mark, add oil until it is
even with the upper mark.
1.Turn the oil filler cap counterclockwise to remove. Add oil, then
check the level again. Do not overfill.
2. Reinstall the cap and twist clockwise until it stops.
CAUTION:
Be sure the oil filler cap is correctly replaced before starting the
engine.

API Service label on the oil container. It should look like this:
