Checking the engine oil level

1. Stand the vehicle on a level surface.

NOTE:

• Place the vehicle on a suitable stand.
• Make sure the vehicle is upright.

2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it off.

3. Check:

• Engine oil level

The engine oil level should be between the minimum level mark "a" and maximum level mark "b".

Below the minimum level mark → Add the recommended engine oil to the proper level.

NOTE:

• Before checking the engine oil level, wait a few minutes until the oil has settled.
• Do not screw the engine oil filler cap (dipstick) "1" in when checking the oil level.

• Engine oil also lubricates the clutch and the wrong oil types or additives could cause clutch slippage. Therefore, do not add any chemical additives or use engine oils with a grade of "CD" "c" or higher and do not use oils labeled "ENERGY CONSERVING II" "d".
• Do not allow foreign materials to enter the crankcase.

4. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it off.

5. Check the engine oil level again.

NOTE:

Before checking the engine oil level, wait a few minutes until the oil has settled.
