Warning

The engine oil dipstick handle
may be hot; it could burn you.
Use a towel or glove to touch the
dipstick handle.

2. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it

with a clean 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
page 12-2

Caution

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 10-6

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 11-12

.

Specification

Ask for and use engine oils that
meet the dexos1

specification.

Engine oils that have been
approved by GM as meeting the
dexos1 specification are marked
with the dexos1 approved logo. See
www.gmdexos.com.
