NOTE: The UTV should be parked on level ground, with
the engine off, when checking the engine oil level. Wait
approximately one minute after running for the oil level
to stabilize before checking.
Do not overfill the engine with oil. Overfilling the en-
gine can cause oil leaks and/or oil contamination of
the air filter element. Always make sure the oil level is
above the "L" mark but not higher than the "H" mark.
