Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil about
1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.

the dipstick while checking.

Check oil level often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
This engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will stop
when the oil level in the crankcase falls below the threshold
level.
The first 5 hours of run time are the break-in period for the
unit. During the break in period stay at or below 50% of the
running watt rating and vary the load occasionally to allow
stator windings to heat and cool. Adjusting the load will also
cause engine speed to vary slightly and help seat piston rings.
After the 5 hour break-in period, change the oil.
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-in
period. Using synthetic oil does not decrease the recommended
oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil will aid in starting
in cold ambient < 41º F (5º C) temperatures.
