Checking the Engine Oil Level
Note: Check the oil when the engine is cool. If the engine is warm, wait 10 minutes before
checking.
IMPORTANT
Check the engine oil daily. If the engine-oil level is above the Full mark on the
dipstick, the engine oil may be diluted with fuel.
If the engine oil level is above the Full mark, change the engine oil.
If the oil level is at or below the Add mark on the dipstick, add oil to bring the oil level to the
Full mark. Do not overfill the engine with oil.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to keep the level of the engine oil between the upper and lower limits on the
oil gauge. Engine failure may occur because of over filling or under filling the engine
oil.
