7. If the level is near or at L, add enough oil to bring the level up to F.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to your engine:

  • Do not overfill the engine with oil. Add oil in small amounts and recheck the level to make sure the engine is not overfilled.
  • Do not spill engine oil when adding or replacing engine oil. Use a funnel to prevent oil from contacting engine components. Wipe up spilled oil immediately.
