LEVEL CHECK
NOTE:
• Check the oil level after starting the engine and
allowing the oil to circulate th rough the engine
thoroughly. It is especially important on a dry
sump engine, due to the comparatively large vol-
ume of oil.
• Do not snap the th rottle while idling or the oil
level reading will be inaccurate.
Place the vehicle on level ground.
Start the engine and let it idle fo r 3 - 5 minutes. If
the air temperature is below 10 0
e
(50°F), let the
engine idle for an additional 5 minutes (a total of 10
minutes).
Stop the engine and wait for 2 - 3 minutes.
Remove the driver seat cushion (page 3-4) and
release the rubber sheet from the tabs.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean.
Check the oil level by inserting t he dipstick into the
engine without screwi ng it in.
The engine contains a sufficient amount of oil if the
oil level is between the upper and lower level marks
on the dipstick.
If the oil level is near or below the lower level mark,
remove the oil fille r cap and add the recommended
engine oil u p to the u pper level mark.
