4.3.4 Checking oil level
Information! Your engine features a dry sump lubrication system. Engine oil is pumped from the
engine into the oil tank while the engine is operating. When the engine is turned off, some engine oil flows
slowly from the oil tank back into the engine. Therefore inspect the oil level immediately after turning off
the engine.
Check the oil level with a warm engine.
► Warm up the engine. (See chapter 4.2
Operation during the break-in period.)
► Turn off the engine.
CAUTION! Scalding caused by hot engine oil.
Wear protective gloves.
► Unscrew the oil dipstick
1
from the oil
tank.
► Wipe the oil dipstick and insert into the oil
tank. Do not screw in.
► Remove the oil dipstick
2
and check oil
level.
The oil level must be between the
MIN-marking
4
and the MAX-marking
3
.
NOTICE! Engine damage caused by a lack of
engine oil.
► If oil level is below the MIN-marking, follow
instructions in Refilling engine oil section.
NOTICE! Engine damage caused by too much
engine oil.
► If oil level exceeds the MAX-marking, pump
out excessive engine oil using an oil suction
pump.
► Screw in the oil dipstick.
