My oil stick is at the add line. How much oil should I put in? And what kind of oil? Dont know the oil compacity on the engine.

Open up your bonnet and look at the very back of the engine and you should see a long tube with a colored handle sticking out, also the check engine light can also be the engine oil so on either side of the engine you should see the same thing as the transmission handle. Its best to check both the transmission & engine oil/fluid by pull out each one by one when the engine is off and cold then get a rag and wipe off the oil/fluid on the longs metal sticks and putting them back in & out to see how much oil/fluid they have.
On both sticks they have a add more & max level lines so if the oil/fluid is on the add more line, add more oil/fluid to them to get it on the max line.
Remeber that the transmission oil/fluid goes to the back stick behind the motor and the motor oil/fluid goes to the side one. Good luck.

Have you tried putting more oil in, Should have it above the add line. If all else fails have a oil change on it.Have them filled it like they do after and oil change, and then keep and eye on dip stick, If looses oil after that, you have a leak somewhere. Let me know if this advice helps you, Thanks Mike from fixya

First, check your engine oil level , while on level ground, add if it's low. (The oil viscosity should be labeled on the oil filler cap) Blue smoke is a sign of burning oil, not a good sign. White smoke is a sign of coolant mixing with your engine oil, a worse sign.
Your computer is telling you to check your oil, so do it, or get it done.
If your oil is low, top it off and keep checking it regularly to see if your engine is consuming it. If it is, I would recommend getting it looked at for either a leak, or low compression. (Worn out piston rings will cause oil consumption and poor performance.)

what kind of oil are you putting in? Engine oil, or transmission fluid? Engine oil should be on one of the valve covers or there will be an oil filler neck. Trans fluid you add in the trans stick

Most vehicles when changing oil uses 5 quarts of oil. I believe that is any vehicle even trucks after you have drained the old oil out of it and is changing your oil. It should last a good 5 months but it is best to change your oil about every 3 months. that is what we do around here and we have 4 vehicles

You'll have two dip sticks under your hood on the engine. One will be for oil the other for tansmission fluid. You can tell you have the transmission because the fluid is a bright redish color where as the oil should be clearish or black, Denpending on your last oil change. The dip sticks are usually on opisit sides or the engine from eachother but could be on the same side. To check your transmission fluid then you need the emergency brake on and the car in neutral and the motor running. On the dip stick there is notches or tiny lines telling you how much is in it. Here;s a very important point to remember. Transmissipon fluid is checked and measured by pints unlike the oil dip stick which is in quarts. So the marks on the dip stick for the tranny will be one pint per mark. To add transmission fluid they sell a skinny long tube funnel that goes directly into the stem that holds the dip stick. You must shut the engine off to add the fluid and restart it in neutral to recheck it. I hope I have been of some service to you and please be kind with your thumbs up for me. good Luck, Raz

passenger side of engine compartment at very rear of engine.

Add enough oil to get the stick reading back to the full line. Oil can't disappear...so either you are burning it or leaking . If you used more than two quarts in 400 miles, if it's burning it it definitely should be fouling plugs and smoking. If leaking, there has to be wet oil under the engine somewhere. Check everything over again to verify either condition.

Add three quarts and then check the oil dip stick..if it is still low then slowly add a fourth quart and check it again...most cars don't use more then four quarts of oil (some use five quarts)

I believe this is the oil pressure light and the helicopter is a picture of the motor. Please check you have sufficient oil in the engine.
1. If on - turn off the engine. wait for half an hour for it to cool.
2. Check the dipstick has the oil showing on it between the two scored marks, near the bottom of it.
3. if the oil shows near the tip at the end of the stick or below the scored line, please put oil in the engine before driving away.
4. Consult the user manual or an engineer on how to add new oil.
