a
quick-action cap. The filler cap also incorporates a filter for the closed-circuit
crankcase breathing intake.
The oil level should always be checked before
a
long journey.
Draining
To drain the engine oil, remove the drain plug

at the rear of the sump. This operation should
be
carried out while the engine
is warm.
Clean the drain plug; check that its copper sealing washer is in a satisfactory
condition, and refit.

Fill the engine with the correct quantity of a recommended oil. Run the engine
for a short while, then allow it to stand for
a
few minutes before checking the
level with the dipstick.
