(Y) "ADD" mark. (X) "FULL" mark.
(A) Original oil level gauge
(B) Alternative oil level gauge
Perform this maintenance with the engine stopped.
Note: Oil gauge (A) or oil gauge (B) may be installed in the engine.
Maintain the oil level between "ADD" mark (Y) and "FULL" mark (X) on oil level gauge (1). 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 the loss of power or engine failure.
Remove the oil filler cap and add oil, if necessary. Clean the oil filler cap. Install the oil filler cap.
