47.2 Oil level check

1. Check the crankcase oil level with a dipstick with
the engine put horizontal.
2. If the oil level is at or below "L" (low level) mark on
the dipstick, add oil to "H" (high level) mark on the
dipstick.
NOTE
a. After adding oil, leave the engine standing for
one minute and check the oil level.
b. Avoid mixing different brands of oils. In some
cases, they are not compatible with each other
and deteriorate when mixed. Use the same
brand at successive intervals.
c. If the engine has been left standing for a long
period of time, check the oil for level and
contamination before starting the engine. Start
and run the engine for a few minutes. Then stop
the engine and check the oil level again.
