INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

57L20-03E

52D084

The handle of the engine oil dipstick is col-
ored yellow for easy identification.

Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe oil off with a
clean cloth, insert the dipstick all the way
into the engine, then remove it again. The
oil on the stick should be between the
upper and lower limits shown on the stick.

If the oil level indication is near the lower
limit, add enough oil to raise the level to the
upper limit.

Refilling

81A147

Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil slowly
through the filler hole to bring the oil level
to the upper limit on the dipstick. Be careful
not to overfill. Too much oil is almost as
bad as too little oil. After refilling, start the
engine and allow it to idle for about a
minute. Stop the engine, wait about 5 min-
utes and check the oil level again.
