4.2.3. Check points for break-in
During the break-in (the initial running of the engine) period, be particularly observant as follows:
1) Check engine oil level frequently. Maintain oil level in the safe range, between the "min." and "max."
marks on dipstick.
NOTE:
If you have a problem getting a good oil level reading on dipstick, rotate the level gauge 180°ý
and re-insert for check.
2) Watch the oil pressure warning lamp. If the lamp blinks, it may be the oil pick-up screen is not covered
with oil. Check oil level gauge. Add oil to the oil pan, if required. Do not overfill. If level is correct and the
status still exists, see your DEALER for possible switch or oil pump and line malfunction.
NOTE:
Oil pressure will rise as RPM increases, and fall as RPM decreases. In addition, cold oil will
generally show higher oil pressure for any specific RPM than hot oil. Both of these conditions
reflect normal engine operation.
3) Watch the engine water temperature gauge and be sure there is proper water circulation. The water
temperature gauge needle will fluctuate if water level in expansion tank is too low.
At the end of the break-in period, remove break-in oil and replace the oil filter. Fill oil pan with
recommended engine oil. Refer to following table.
The following oils are also recommended.

4.2.4. Operating after break-in
When starting a cold engine, always allow the engine to warm up gradually. Never run the engine at full throttle
until the engine is thoroughly warmed up. Be sure to check the oil level frequently during the first 1,000 km
(50 hours) of operation, since the oil consumption will be high until the piston rings are properly seated.
