Checking Engine Oil Level
1. Level the engine.
2. To check the oil level, draw out the dipstick (1), wipe it clean,
reinsert it, and draw it out again.
Check to see that the oil level lies between the two notches.
3. If the level is too low, add new oil to the specified level.
IMPORTANTQ
• When using an oil of different maker or viscosity from the
previous, drain old oil. Never mix two different types of oil.
NOTEQ
• Be sure to inspect the engine, locating it on a horizontal
place. If placed on gradients, accurately, oil quantity may
not be measured.
• Be sure to keep the oil level between upper and lower limits
of the dipstick. Too much oil may cause a drop in output or
excessive blow-by gas. On the closed breather type engine
in which mist is sucked through port, too much oil may
caused oil hammer. While too little oil, may seize the
engine’s rotating and sliding parts.
