Remove the oil fill cap and add the appropriate amount
of engine oil. Use the dip stick to check the level again, if
oil level is sufficient, replace oil fill cap.
DO NOT OVERFILL
If the oil level is below the add mark, add an SAE
10W-30 oil to bring the level up between the marks
(refer to the recommended oil weights in the chart for
your particular climate range).

Remove the dipstick and wipe with a clean rag, reinsert the dipstick until it contacts the oil tube, remove dipstick and
read the oil level.

If the engine has recently been running, allow time (with the engine turned off) to let the oil settle to obtain a
correct level reading.

increase oil consumption. Check oil level more frequently
when using them.
