shut the engine off; then add oil to the oil reservoir
until oil is visible halfway up in the sight glass.


perature, the oil level may read too low. Always make
sure the engine is at operating temperature before
checking the oil.

Testing Oil Pressure
The Low Oil Pressure Warning Light indicates engine oil
pressure, not the oil level; however, if the oil level is low,
it may affect oil pressure. The light should illuminate
each time the engine is started. If the light stays illumi-
nated or it illuminates while the engine is running, oil
pressure has been lost and the engine will automatically
shut off.
If oil pressure is lost, first verify oil level is correct. After
adding oil, oil pressure should be normal. If not proceed
to step 1.
1. On 5000 and 9000 models, locate the oil pressure
sensor below the thermostat coolant hose; then dis-
connect the plug-in connector from the sensor.
