engine and wait for more than 30 minutes before
checking the oil level again. Also check for pos-
sible oil leaks.
9. After adding oil to the correct level, ensure that
the drain plug, oil filler cap and oil level gauge

•
Take care not to add more than the specified
quantity of oil. The engine can be severely
damaged if the correct engine oil level is not
maintained.
•
If the engine is frequently run at high speeds
or under heavy loads, the engine oil will
deteriorate quickly and must be replaced
sooner than specified.

Take care not to spill engine oil as engine oil
on the exhaust manifold or other hot sec-

the oil if spilt.
