(Y) “MIN” mark. (X) “MAX” mark.
NOTICE
Perform this maintenance with the engine stopped.
Note:
Ensure that the engine is either level or that
the engine is in the normal operating position in order
to obtain a true level indication.
Note:
After the engine has been switched OFF, allow
the engine oil to drain to the oil pan before checking
the oil level.
1.
Maintain the oil level between the “MIN” mark (Y)
and the “MAX” mark (X) on the engine oil dipstick.
Do not fill the crankcase above the “MAX” mark
(X).
NOTICE
Operating your engine when the oil level is above the
“FULL” mark could cause your crankshaft to dip into
the oil. The air bubbles created from the crankshaft
dipping into the oil reduces the oil's lubricating char-
acteristics and could result in the loss of power.
2.
Remove the oil filler cap and add oil, if necessary.
Clean the oil filler cap. Install the oil filler cap.

Engine Oil and Filter - Change
Hot oil and hot components can cause personal
injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to
contact the skin.
Do not drain the oil when the engine is cold. As the oil
cools, suspended waste particles settle on the bottom
of the oil pan. The waste particles are not removed
with the draining cold oil. Drain the crankcase with
the engine stopped. Drain the crankcase with the
oil warm. This draining method allows the waste
particles that are suspended in the oil to be drained
properly.
Failure to follow this recommended procedure will
cause the waste particles to be recirculated through
the engine lubrication system with the new oil.

After the engine has been run at the normal operating
temperature, stop the engine. Use one of the
following methods to drain the engine crankcase oil:
•
If the engine is equipped with a drain valve, turn the
drain valve knob counterclockwise in order to drain
the oil. After the oil has drained, turn the drain valve
knob clockwise in order to close the drain valve.
