Checking the Oil Level
Oil dipstick

Level marking
8009-159
The importance of checking and maintaining
the proper oil level in the crankcase cannot be
overemphasized.
Check oil before each use as follows:
1. Make sure the engine is stopped, level, and
cool so the oil has had time to drain into the oil
pan.
2. To keep dirt, debris, etc., out of the engine,
clean the area around the dipstick before
removing it.
3. Unthread and remove the dipstick; wipe oil off.
Reinsert the dipstick into the tube and rest the
cap on the tube. Do not thread the cap onto
the tube.
4. Pull the dipstick out and check the oil level.
The oil level should be up to, but not over, the
“FULL” mark on the dipstick.
5. If the level is low, add oil of the proper type, up
to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick. Refer to Oil
Type, page . Always check the level with the
dipstick before adding more oil.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
To prevent extensive engine wear or
damage, always maintain the proper oil
level in the crankcase. Never operate the
engine with the oil level below the “ADD”
mark or over the “FULL” mark on the
dipstick.
