CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
IMPORTANT: Prevent engine damage. Do not run
engine when oil level is below the ADD
mark.
The most accurate oil level reading is obtained when the
engine is cold before starting the engine for the day's
operation.
1. Make sure dipstick (A) is fully seated.
2. Remove dipstick to check oil level.
BEFORE THE ENGINE IS STARTED: The engine is
full when oil level is in the cross hatch area (C). It is
acceptable to run the engine when the oil level is
above the ADD mark.
AFTER THE ENGINE HAS BEEN RUN: Allow the oil
to drain into the oil pan for 10 minutes before checking
the oil level. Ten minutes after shutdown the engine oil
level must be above the ADD mark.
3. If necessary, remove filler cap (B) to add oil. (See
Fuels and Lubricants chapter.)
