3. Add oil slowly, checking the level with the dipstick
frequently until the level reaches the upper hole on the
dipstick. (Refer to Engine Oil, page 35, for the correct
oil type and viscosity to use in different temperature
conditions).
Important
Add the oil very slowly and do not block
the opening of the filler hole (Fig. 44). If you add oil too
fast or block the hole, the oil could back up and foul the
air intakes, causing engine damage.
