Checking Oil Levelon Engineswith Quarter-Turn Oil Fill Caps
NOTE: Be sure to check the oil while on a level surface with the
engine stopped.
To avoid engine damage, it is important to:
Check oil level before each use and every 5 operating
hours when engine is warm. Check oil level more
frequently during engine break-in.
Keep oil level between "H" and "L" marks on dipstick.
See Fig. 3-3.
Be sure oil fill cap/plug is tightened securely when
checking.
