Check Calibration at the First Oil Change
The engine oil level will vary depending on the angle and the slant of the engine installation. The angle is the front to back tilt. The slant is the sideways tilt.The oil level gauge markings must be verified in order to ensure that it is correct. Verify the oil level gauge markings at the first oil change.Verify the "ADD" mark and verify the "FULL" mark that is on the oil level gauge. Use the following procedure.
The vehicle must be parked on a level surface in order to perform this maintenance procedure.
Operate the engine until normal operating temperature is achieved. Stop the engine. Remove the crankcase oil drain plugs. The oil drain plug from the deep portion of the oil pan should be removed. The oil drain plug from the shallow portion of the oil pan should be removed. This will allow all of the oil to drain. Drain the oil from the crankcase for 20 minutes.
Remove the used oil filter(s). Install the new oil filter(s). Install the oil drain plugs and tighten to 70 15 N m (50 11 lb ft).Note: Your engine may be equipped with auxiliary oil filters. The auxiliary oil filters require a different volume of oil. Refer to the OEM specifications for the auxiliary oil filter.
Refer to table 1. Pour the quantity of oil with the label "A" into the crankcase. Allow enough time for the oil to drain into the crankcase. Approximately 20 minutes should be allowed. Check the oil level. Wait for several minutes and check the oil level again. Proceed after the oil level stops changing.
Check the oil level on the oil level gauge. The oil level should be at the "ADD" mark. If the oil level is not at the existing "ADD" mark, grind off the "ADD" mark and engrave the new "ADD" level. Use an engraving pen in order to engrave the new "ADD" mark.
Pour the quantity of oil with the label "B" into the crankcase. Allow enough time for the oil to drain into the crankcase.
Check the oil level on the oil level gauge. The oil level should be at the "FULL" mark. If the oil level is not at the existing "FULL" mark, grind off the "FULL" mark. Use an engraving pen in order to engrave the new "FULL" mark.
Do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds. Allow the starting motor to cool for two minutes before cranking again.
Pour the quantity of oil with the label "C" into the crankcase. This quantity of oil will fill the oil filter. Start the engine and run the engine enough to ensure that the lubrication system is filled. Inspect the engine for oil leaks.
Stop the engine and allow enough time for the oil to drain into the crankcase.
Check the oil level on the oil level gauge. If the oil level is not at the calibrated "FULL" mark, fill the crankcase to the calibrated "FULL" mark. Record the amount of oil
