Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level
position.
Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
Insert and remove the oil filler cap/dipstick without screwing it
into the oil filler neck. Check the oil level shown on the dipstick.
If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark on the
dipstick, fill with the recommended oil (see page
) to the upper
limit mark. Do not overfill.
Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely.
The ‘‘Oil Alert ’’ buzzer (applicable types) will warn you when
engine oil needs to be added to the crankcase. If the buzzer sounds,
stop the engine and add oil.
Drain the used oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains
quickly and completely.
Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil,
then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, oil drain plug and washer.
Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the oil drain
plug and new washer, and tighten the oil drain plug securely.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible
with the environment. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed
container to your local recycling center or service station for
reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground,
or down a drain.
With the engine in a level position, fill to the upper limit mark on
the dipstick with the recommended oil (see page
).
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine
damage.
The ‘‘Oil Alert ’’ buzzer (applicable types) will warn you when
engine oil needs to be added to the crankcase. If the buzzer sounds,
stop the engine and add oil.
Screw in the oil filler cap/dipstick securely. 4.
