CHAPTER4—PRE-CHECKBEFORESTARTING
4.2 Checking Engine Oil Level
22
• Normally the oil level is to be checked when
the engine is stopped. Wait a few minutes
before reading off the level, so that the oil
has time to run down into the oil sump.
• Dipstick marked STOP/OPERATING can be
read both when the engine is stopped and
when it is running. Use the STOP side of the
dipstick when the engine is stopped and the
OPERATING side when in operation.
• The oil level must be inside the marked area
on the dipstick. Never fill above the
maximum limit on the oil dipstick.
• Only fill oil when the engine is stopped.
• The oil level sensor only measures the oil
level when the ignition is switched to on, not
continuously during operation.
