to check the oil level, it is
important to turn the propeller
a few times in operating
direction till you can hear some
kind of bubbling noise coming
out of the oil expansion tank.
Ensure that the ignition key
has been removed before
turning the propeller.
This is the only way to check
the engine oil level correctly.
