 In order to prevent clutch slippage (since
the engine oil also lubricates the clutch),
do not mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel specification of
"CD" or oils of a higher quality than
specified. In addition, do not use oils la-
beled "ENERGY CONSERVING II" or
higher.
 Make sure that no foreign material en-
ters the crankcase.
12. Start the engine, and then let it idle for
several minutes while checking it for oil
leakage. If oil is leaking, immediately turn
the engine off and check for the cause.
13. Turn the engine off, wait at least 10 min-
utes, and then check the oil level and cor-
rect it if necessary.
14. Install the right rear panel by installing the
bolts and the quick fastener screws.
