Adding Engine Oil (gasoline engine models)

To add engine oil, remove the oil filler cap located on the valve cover. Slowly add the required amount of engine oil, taking care not to spill it. Wipe up any spilled oil immediately. Spilled oil can damage components located in the engine compartment.

Install the cap in place and tighten it securely. Warm up the engine, then turn it off and wait about three minutes, after which check the engine oil level using the dipstick. Do not overfill the oil above the upper mark on the dipstick, as this may damage the engine.
