Hot oil and hot components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to contact the skin.
(Y) "ADD" mark. (X) "FULL" mark.
Perform this maintenance with the engine stopped.
The vehicle must be parked on a level surface in order to perform this maintenance procedure. Allow enough time for the engine oil to drain into the engine crankcase. Approximately five minutes should be allowed.1. Maintain the oil level between "ADD" mark (Y) and "FULL" mark (X) on the oil level gauge. Do not fill the crankcase above "FULL" mark (X).
Operating your engine when the oil level is above the "FULL" mark could cause your crankshaft to dip into the oil. The air bubbles created from the crankshaft dipping into the oil reduces the oil's lubricating characteristics and could result in a loss of power.Excessive oil consumption can result from attempting to maintain the oil level at or above the "FULL" mark. Improved oil consumption may result from only adding oil necessary to maintain the oil level at a point midway between the "ADD" and the "FULL" mark. This is apparent in applications where excessive counterweight dipping is possible.
2. Remove the oil filler cap and add oil, if necessary. Clean the oil filler cap. Install the oil filler cap.
