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 clean it
with a paper towel or a cloth,
then push it back in all the way.
Remove it again, keeping the
tip down.
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 122.
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 103 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 through.
Selecting the Right Engine Oil
Look for three things:
.
CJ-4
Oils designated as API CJ-4 are
required for the vehicle. The
CJ-4 designation can appear
either alone or in combination
with other American Petroleum
Institute (API) designations, such
as API CJ-4/SL. These letters
show API levels of quality.
