Precautions when sampling
Run the engine at low idling when sampling.

The sampled oil is at high temperature, so be careful not to burn yourself.
Oil inside the hose contains remained oil from last sampling. If you start sampling as it is, it may cause the error.
When sampling, do not collect the oil into the bottle as it is, pour some amount of oil into another bottle, and then
collect the oil into the bottle.
Immediately after the engine is started, the wear powder precipitates in the oil and the oil density may be low so
that the signs of error may not be found. Start the engine before collecting the oil.
