Park the vehicle on a level surface. Wait until the engine has not been run for at least 30 minutes. Raise the hood and find the dipstick that you use the check the oil level. Pull it out and wipe it off. Insert it back into the hole fully and pull it out again. Hold it horizontally and look see where the oil comes up to on the dip stick. There will be a full mark and an add mark. If it is below the add mark, slowly add enough oil to reach the full mark. DO NOT overfill. Make sure you are checking the oil and not the Transmission Fluid as both may have a dipstick.
