23. Add 1 US quart of the specified engine oil at the

This is less than the total engine oil capacity, but
sufficient to help prevent over filling. Wait a few

You will need to reinstall the filler cap, start the
engine and run it briefly. Turn the engine off, wait
for the oil to settle, and check the level in the win-
dow.
Regulate the engine oil level as required.
