To check and refill engine oilIt is normal for an engine to use oil. You may need to add oil
between the recommended oil change intervals. Before starting
the engine, check the engine oil level. Refill if necessary.
To check the oil level, remove the dipstick, wipe it off, and
gently reinsert it all the way. Slowly pull the dipstick straight
out and check the oil level by checking the upper surface of the
dipstick. The oil level must not go above the line on the dip-
stick.NOTEIf it is difficult to verify the oil level, wipe off the dipstick
and reinsert it. Wait a moment and then recheck the oil
level by checking the upper surface of the dipstick.
If the level does not reach the line which shows the smallest
amount of oil required, remove the oil filler cap on the engine
valve cover, and fill to within the “Good” range.
CAUTION
!Overfilling will cause oil aeration and loss of oil
pressure, which could damage the engine.
