engine and wipe it clean, insert the
gauge fully into guide tube and

level of oil between the high and low
level marks. Also check the oil sam-
pled with the gauge rod for deterio-
ration.
After checking oil level, insert the
level gauge into guide tube properly
and tighten the oil filler cap firmly.
