Checking oil level and adding engine oil
1. Check the engine oil level before starting or more
than 5 minutes after stopping the engine.
2. Remove the oil level gauge, wipe it clean and
reinstall it.
3. Take the oil level gauge out again, and check the
oil level.
(1) Oil port
(2) Oil level gauge
4. If the oil level is too low, remove the oil port, and
add new oil to the prescribed level.
5. After adding oil, wait more than 5 minutes and
check the oil level again. It takes some time for the
oil to drain down to the oil pan.
6. If the engine is operated with the oil level nearing
the lower limit, the oil may deteriorate more quickly
than normal, therefore, keeping the oil level near
the upper limit is recommended.
