When to
Add
Oil
If
the
oil is at or below the ADD line, then
you’ll need to add some oil. But you must
use the right kind. This section 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.
Remove the oil
fill
cap by turning
it
to
the
left (counterclockwise).
Just fill it enough to put the level
somewhere
in
the proper operating range.
Push the dipstick all the way back
in
and
put the oil cap back on when you’re
through.
