25-3-2. Checking and replenishing the engine oil
1) Open the engine hood rear cover.
2) Pull out the oil dipstick (G) and wipe oil off it with a cloth.
3) Insert the oil dipstick (G) fully again and pull it out.
4) Check that the oil level is above the midpoint between
the upper and lower limit marks (H and L), which is a
proper level.
Open the cap of the oil supply port (F) and replenish oil
if the oil level is lower than the midpoint.
See Section "21. Fueling, Oiling and Greasing Based on
Temperature Range" for the engine oil to be used.
5) If the engine oil level is higher than the H mark, drain the
excessive engine oil through the drain plug (P), and
check the engine oil level again.
6) If the engine oil level is proper, securely close the port
cap and close the engine hood rear cover.
Note :
When checking the engine oil level after the engine has
been run, stop the engine and wait for 15 minutes at least
before checking.
If the machine is inclined, make it horizontal before check-
ing the engine oil level.
Do not discard the excessive engine oil onto the ground or
the road.
• At operating temperature, the oil and dipstick ar-
eas are hot.
• Do not allow hot oil or components to contact the
skin to prevent bodily injury such as a burn.
Check oil level and refill oil after engine has
cooled down sufficiently.
