2. Insert and remove the dipstick without screwing it into the filler neck.
Check the oil level shown on the dipstick.

Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
The engine protection system will automatically stop the engine
before the
oil level falls below safe limits. However, to avoid the
inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, always check the engine
oil level before startup.
