ADVICE
• Any oil level above the "Inspection MAX" mark on the oil dipstick may cause
engine malfunctions. Change the oil whenever its level exceeds the "Inspection
MAX" mark.
• Fuel will gradually become mixed with the engine oil, thinning it out. Be sure to
change the oil at the specified intervals.
NOTE
• Perform all engine oil level checks on a level surface before starting the engine.
• The oil level cannot be checked correctly when the engine is running.
• Fuel will gradually become mixed with the engine oil, and the engine oil level
will rise beyond the original level. This does not indicate an engine malfunction.
• Wait for at least 30 minutes after stopping the engine when measuring the oil
level after the engine has been operated.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Checking the Engine Oil Level
1. Remove the oil dipstick and wipe off
any oil on the oil dipstick.
2. Reinsert the oil dipstick fully and then
gently remove it. If the oil level is
between the "Inspection MAX" and
"MIN" marks (range 1), the oil is at the
correct level.
3. If the oil level is too low, add oil to
the "Replenishment MAX" mark
(range 2). If the oil level is beyond the
"Inspection MAX" level, then the oil
needs to be changed.
4. Reinstall the oil dipstick into position
after checking the oil level.
