gine oil tank; the oil level rises faster starting from
the half-level-portion on the dipstick. 6. Check the O-ring for damage, and replace itif necessary.
7. Insert the dipstick into the engine oil tank filler hole, and then tighten the engine oil tank filler
cap. NOTICE: Make sure that the engine oil
