Before Each Use; Checking Engine Oil Levels Pre-Engine Start-Up - ILMOR MV8 570 Owner's Manual

Section 4

BEFORE EACH USE

A WARNING! Never allow battery electrolyte to be spilled or
placed on any part of the human body. Battery electrolyte fluid is
dangerous. It contains sulfuric acid, which is poisonous, corrosive
and caustic. If exposed to battery electrolyte, flush the area with
large amounts of clean water and immediately seek medical
attention.
A WARNING! Always keep all sparks, flames and smoking
materials away from the battery charging area. When charging,
batteries generate small amounts of dangerous hydrogen gas,
which is highly explosive. Failure to follow instructions when
charging a battery can cause an electrical charge or even an
explosion of the battery. This could result in serious injury or
death.
CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVELS
PRE-ENGINE START-UP
Although a more accurate engine oil level reading will happen only after
the engine has run long enough to thoroughly warm up, it is still important
to check the engine oil level prior to starting the engine.
1. Open the engine compartment. The engine oil dipstick is located on
the side of the engine.
2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it off on a clean rag. Insert it fully and
immediately remove. Check that the oil level is between the FULL and
LOW marks on the dipstick.
3. Add oil if necessary through the oil fill neck and only enough to
bring oil between the FULL and LOW marks. Overfill may result in
damage to the engine that may not be covered by the warranty. Use oil
as specified in Fluid Specifications on page 11-1. DO NOT USE OIL
ADDITIVES AT ANY TIME.
Before boating, be sure to also follow the procedure in Check the Engine
Oil Level on page 4-8.
