To inspect the engine oil level:
▼ Start the engine and run at idle for
approximately five minutes.
▼ Stop the engine, then wait for at
least five minutes to allow the oil to
settle.
▼ Note the oil level visible in the sight
glass.
▼ When correct, oil should be visible at
a point between the upper level and
the lower level on the sight glass.
▼ If it is necessary to top up the oil
level, remove the oil filler plug and
using a suitable funnel, add oil, a
little at a time, until the level
registered in the sight glass is
correct.
▼ Once the correct level is reached, fit
and tighten the oil filler plug.
