In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not

mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of "CD" or oils of a high-
er quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled
"ENERGY CONSERVING II" or
higher.

Make sure that no foreign mate-
rial enters the crankcase.

for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking, im-
mediately turn the engine off and
check for the cause.
13. Turn the engine off, and then
check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
