Checking the Engine Oil Level

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
1. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, and insert it
into the oil filler neck, but do not screw it in
(Figure 19).
2. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level
(Figure 19).
If there is no oil on the dipstick, slowly pour oil
into the oil fill tube, periodically checking the level
with the dipstick, until the dipstick indicates that
the engine is full as illustrated in Figure 19. Do not
overfill. (Max. fill: 20 oz. (0.55 l), type: SAE 30W
detergent oil with an API service classification of
SH, SJ, SL, or higher.)
Note: If you overfill the engine, pour some oil out
of it as directed in Changing the Engine Oil.
3. Install the dipstick securely.
