12.3.8) Oil level check

It is an advantage to check the oil level before oil change to be informed about
oil consumption. Before oil level check turn the propeller manually several
times in engine turn direction to pump the oil from engine into the tank. The
procedure is complete if also air flows back into the oil tank. This is noticeable
with opened oil tank seal as a rush. Stop engine and check oil content on oil
gauge of oil tank. The oil level in the oil container should be between the 2
marks (max. / min.) and must never be below the minimum mark.
Difference between max. and min. mark = 0,45 litre (0.95 liq pt).
