Oil
Level
Check the
oil
level at the intervals recommended in
the Periodic Maintenance Schedule. Check more
frequently on
a
new
or
reconditioned engine as oil
consumption is normally higher until the piston rings
seat properly. Make sure equipment
is
on a level
surface and screw the oil
fill
cap into the dipstick
tube until it stops. Refer to the Maintenancesection
for recommended oil change intervals and proce-
dures.
When adding oil between oil changes, it is prefer-
able to use the same brand, because different oil
brands may not be compatible. Figure

shows the
oil level dipstick and the
