Adding engine oil

If the oil level is below or near the

low level mark, add engine oil of

the same type as already in the

engine.

Make sure to check the oil type and prepare the items needed before

adding oil.

Remove the oil filler cap.

Add engine oil slowly, checking the dipstick.

Install the filler cap, turning it clockwise.

It takes about 1.6 qt. (1.5 L, 1.3 lmp. qt.) to raise the oil level from low to full on the

dipstick.

■

Recommended viscosity

SAE 5W-30 is the best choice for

good fuel economy, and good

starting in cold weather.

If SAE 5W-30 oil is not available,

SAE 10W-30 oil may be used.

However, it should be replaced

with SAE 5W-30 at the next oil

change.
