When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is below the MIN (minimum) mark for the
2.2L L4 engine or below the lower mark (B) for
the 3.5L V6 engine, you will need to add at least
one quart/liter of oil. But you must use the right kind.
This section explains what kind of oil to use. For
engine oil crankcase capacity, see Capacities and
Specifications on page 5-99.
Notice: Do not 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.
See Engine Compartment Overview on page 5-12 for
the location of the engine oil fill cap.
Be sure to add enough oil to put the level somewhere
in the proper operating range. Push the dipstick all
the way back in when you are through.
