3.5.1 Check Engine Oil
Check the engine oil level daily before starting the engine. Inspect the oil for signs of deterioration, discoloration, thinning, or
water contamination. If any of these conditions exist, the oil quality has been compromised and should be replaced.
Required materials:
• Clean, dry cloth.
• Fresh engine oil. (See the section “Oil Recommendations”)
Procedure:
1. Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
2. Pull out the oil dipstick. See Figure 10.
Figure 10 Oil Dipstick Location
3. Wipe the end of the dipstick with a clean, dry cloth.
4. Insert the dipstick into the engine.
5. Pull out the dipstick again to check the oil level. The oil level should be maintained between the Full and Add marks.
See Figure 11.

6. If the oil level is below L, check for leaks. If no leaks are found, open the oil fill cap. Wipe the oil fill cap clean, and add
oil up to the Full mark. See Figure 12.
7. If oil leaks are found, repair them before operating the engine.
