Oil Level Check
Note:
Read the entire oil check procedure before checking the oil level.
The oil level will rise as engine temperature increases. The oil level will
be lower when the engine is cold. To obtain a proper oil level reading,
the snowmobile must be on a level surface, and the engine coolant tem-
perature must be between 145 and 160
°
F. (63-71
°
C).
Always check the oil level before operating a snowmobile that has
tipped over.
NOTICE:
Severe engine damage may occur if procedures for checking the oil
level are not followed precisely. Always check the oil with the
snowmobile positioned on a level surface. Always check the oil level
when the coolant temperature is within the specified range.
