Checking the Oil Level
Do not overfill engine. Too much oil may cause engine
to smoke or cause spark plug fouling.
The oil should be checked with the engine warm. The vehicle
should be on a level surface with the parking brake engaged. Allow
adequate time for oil to drain into the crankcase before checking.
Remove the dipstick and wipe off the entire area with a lint free cloth.
Insert the dipstick fully into the dipstick hole and remove. Examine the
level of the oil on the dipstick.
The engine can be operated safely as long as oil is within the safe
operating range as indicated on the dip stick. Do not operate vehicle
if oil level is below the safe area indicated on the dipstick.
Oil should be added to bring the level into the safe operating range.
Remember that oil expands as it gets hot. Do not overfill. Check that
the oil cap is firmly in place.
