Vehicle Care

2. Pull out the dipstick and clean it

with a paper towel or cloth, then
push it back in all the way.
Remove it again, keeping the tip
down, and check the level.

When to Add Engine Oil

If the oil is below the cross-hatched
area at the tip of the dipstick, add
1 L (1 qt) of the recommended oil
and then recheck the level. See

Selecting the Right Engine Oil

in

this section for an explanation of
what kind of oil to use. For engine
oil crankcase capacity, see

Capacities and Specifications on

.

Notice:

Do not add too much oil.

Oil levels above or below the
acceptable operating range
shown on the dipstick are harmful

to the engine. If you find that
you have an oil level above the
operating range, i.e., the engine
has so much oil that the oil level
gets above the cross-hatched
area that shows the proper
operating range, the engine could
be damaged. You should drain
out the excess oil or limit driving
of the vehicle and seek a service
professional to remove the
excess amount of oil.

See

Engine Compartment Overview

on page 10

for the location of the

engine oil fill cap.

Add enough oil to put the level
somewhere in the proper operating
range. Push the dipstick all the way
back in when through.

Selecting the Right Engine Oil

Selecting the right engine oil
depends on both the proper oil
specification and viscosity grade.
See

Recommended Fluids and

Lubricants on page 11

.

Specification

Use and ask for licensed engine
oils with the dexos1

approved

certification mark. Engine oils
meeting the requirements for the
vehicle should have the dexos1
approved certification mark. This
certification mark indicates that the
oil has been approved to the dexos1
specification.

Notice:

Failure to use the

recommended engine oil or
equivalent can result in engine
damage not covered by the
vehicle warranty. Check with your
dealer or service provider on
whether the oil is approved to the
dexos1 specification.
