Engine Lubricating Oil Level - Check
Hot oil and components can cause personal injury. Do not
allow hot oil or components to contact skin.
Do not under fill or overfill engine crankcase with oil. Either
condition can cause engine damage. Never operate the engine
with oil level below the L (low) mark or above the H (high) mark
shown on the dipstick (1), poor engine performance or engine
damage can occur.
The engine oil level gauge relies on gravity. The engine must be
level when checking the oil level to make sure the measurement
is correct.
Shut off the engine for an accurate reading. Wait at least 15 minutes after shutting off the engine to check the oil level. This
allows time for the oil to drain into the oil pan.
Use the engine Oil Level Gauge dipstick (1) to check the oil level. Maintain the oil level in the operating area on the engine
oil level gauge. The operating area is between the L (low) mark or above the H (high) mark.
Remove the oil fill cap (2) if necessary to add oil. Clean the oil fill cap and reinstall onto the engine.
Refer to the Engine Lubricating Oil and Filter Change section for the steps required to drain the engine oil.
