Fig. 8 Add Engine Oil
Both the oil dipstick and fill cap must be in place before operat-
ing the engine. Failure to install the dipstick and fill cap will
result in oil being discharged into the engine compartment.
As a final check, check the oil level again with the vehi-
cle on level ground. Like all liquids, oil increases in vol-
ume when warm. The full 'F' mark on the dipstick is
calibrated for an engine at operating temperature. When
the engine is cold, the oil will be below the full mark. The
engine can be operated safely as long as the oil is within
the safe operating range as indicated on the dipstick. Do
not operate vehicle if oil level is below the safe area
indicated on the dipstick.
