Checking/Adding
Engine Oil (6000)
The 6000 does not have a sight glass on the
side of the oil tank for checking the oil level.
The oil level may be checked by visually
looking down into the tank or add oil when
the oil light turns on display on the gauge.
The oil tank (when filled to the bottom of
the filler neck) will have 3.6 quarts of oil.
The oil light will turn on when the oil tank
capacity is down to 1.5 quarts. If the oil
level reaches 0.75 quarts, air can be intro-
duced to oil pump cavity during vehicle
operation causing the risk of engine seizure.
