Remove the dipstick and check the dipstick for the oil level. The oil level should be between the "FULL" mark and the "ADD" mark.
Do not fill above the "FULL" mark on the dipstick.If the oil level is above the "FULL" Mark, the crankshaft might dip into the oil during engine operation. This will lead to excessively high oil temperatures. High oil temperatures can reduce the lubricating characteristics of oil.
