Checking Engine Oil
XM184
Level

NOTE: The engine must be at
operating temperature before check-
ing the oil level or an incorrect oil
level will result.
If the engine and oil are not at operat-
ing temperature, the oil will not be
visible in the sight glass. Tip the
snowmobile to the right at a 45°
angle; then check to see if oil is pres-
ent in the sight glass.
1. Park the snowmobile on a level surface;
then start the engine and allow to warm
up for 5-10 minutes, or if the snowmo-
bile was operated, allow the engine to
idle approximately 30 seconds.
2. Shut the engine off; then remove the
right-side access panel and verify oil
is visible at least halfway up in the
sight glass.
3. If oil is not visible halfway up in the
sight glass, add recommended engine
oil until oil is visible half-way up the
sight glass.; then on the 5000/9000,
proceed to step 11 of Changing
Engine Oil/Filter in this sub-section.
