maintenance precautions in “Handling and
Service of Engine Oil and Filters” on page 5-4.

3. Pull the oil level gauge (G) out and wipe the
oil with a disposable cloth.
Fig. 5-12
NOTICE: Always keep engine oil level at the
appropriate level. If the oil level is too high, high oil
consumption and increased oil temperature will
deteriorate the oil faster. If the oil level is too low,
the engine may be damaged.
4. Insert the oil level gauge (G) into the oil filler
and pull it out.
5. If the oil level is between the H mark and L
mark on the oil level gauge, the oil level is
normal.
Fig. 5-13
6. If the oil level is lower than the “L” mark, refill
the engine oil from the filler opening.
NOTICE: Refill the engine oil until it almost
reaches the oil filler port.
WARNING! Burn Hazard. Secure the oil level
gauge after oil level inspection or replacement
to avoid oil leaks.
6. Securely install the oil level gauge.
7. Close the inspection cover (1) and turn the
knob (2).
Gently pull on the inspection cover (1) to
confirm that it is locked.
