Engine Oil Level - Check
Hot oil and hot components can cause personal
injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to
contact the skin.
Illustration 45 g02173847
“L” Low
“H” High
NOTICE
Perform this maintenance with the engine stopped.
Note: Ensure that the engine is either level or that
the engine is in the normal operating position in order
to obtain a true level indication.
Note: After the engine has been switched OFF, wait
for 10 minutes in order to allow the engine oil to drain
to the oil pan before checking the oil level.
1. Maintain the oil level between the mark (L) and the
mark (H) on the engine oil dipstick. Do not fill the
crankcase above the “H” .
NOTICE
Operating your engine when the oil level is above the
“H” mark could cause your crankshaft to dip into the
oil. The air bubbles created from the crankshaft dip-
ping into the oil reduces the oils lubricating character-
istics and could result in the loss of power.
2. Remove the oil filler cap and add oil, if necessary.
Clean the oil filler cap. Install the oil filler cap.
