before checking the oil.

• When using a different brand or viscosity oil
from the previous one, remove all of the old oil
and the oil filter. Never mix 2 different types of
oil.
• Use the proper SAE engine oil according to the
ambient temperature.

or more after the engine has stopped.
2. Wipe the dipstick area clean.
3. To check the oil level, remove the dipstick, wipe it
clean, replace it, and draw it out again. Check to
see that the oil level is between the 2 notches.

prescribed level at the oil port.
