crankcase capacity of oil into the oil-fill tube.

7. Remove the dipstick and read the oil level on the
dipstick (Figure 17).
•
If the oil level is below the Add mark, add a small
amount of oil slowly to the oil-fill tube, wait 3
minutes, and then repeat steps 5 through 7 until
the oil level on the dipstick is at the Full mark.
•
If the oil level is above the Full mark, drain the
excess oil until the oil level on the dipstick is at the
Full mark.
Important: If the oil level in the crankcase is
too low or too high and you run the engine,
you may damage the engine.
