CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
1. Place the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Start the engine, warm it up until the engine
oil has reached a normal temperature of 60
°C (140 °F), let it continue to idle for ten sec-
onds, and then turn the engine off.
IP
To achieve the proper engine oil temperature for
an accurate oil level reading, the engine must
have first completely cooled down, and then
warmed up again for several minutes to normal
operating temperature.
3. Check:
• Engine oil level
The engine oil level should be between the
minimum level mark “a” and maximum level
mark “b”.
Below the minimum level mark → Add the
recommended engine oil to the proper level.
IP
• Wait a few minutes until the oil settles before
checking the oil level.
• Do not screw the dipstick “1” in when checking
the oil level.
NOTICE
ECA1S3L023
• Engine oil also lubricates the clutch and the
wrong oil types or additives could cause
clutch slippage. Therefore, do not add any
chemical additives or use engine oils with a
grade of CD “c” or higher and do not use
oils labeled “ENERGY CONSERVING II”
“d”.
• Do not allow foreign materials to enter the
crankcase.
4. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
5. Check the engine oil level again.
IP
Before checking the engine oil level, wait a few
minutes until the oil has settled.
