2. Take out the dipstick (G) and wipe off the oil with cloth.
3. Insert dipstick (G) fully in the oil filler pipe, then take it out
again.
4. The oil level should be between the H and L marks on dip-
stick (G).
If the oil level is below the L mark, add oil through oil filler
(F).
5. If the oil is above the H line, open drain valve (P), drain the
excess engine oil, then check the oil level again.
6. If the oil level is correct, tighten oil filler cap (F) securely
and close the inspection window.

ated, wait for at least 15 minutes after stopping the engine
