Checking oil level

The oil level should be checked each time the fuel tank is refilled. Be sure the oil level is maintained

between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. Low oil level can cause internal damage to the

engine and overfilling can result in high oil consumption. The distance between the dipstick marks

represents approx. 1 quart (1 liter) of oil.

To add oil or change oil

Add oil of the same kind as already used.
