remove the dipstick.
5. Read the oil level on the dipstick ( Figure 13 ).
•
If the oil level on the dipstick is too low
(
Figure 13 ), carefully pour a small amount
of SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30 detergent oil into
the oil-fill tube, wait 3 minutes, and repeat
steps
3 through 5 until the oil on the dipstick
is at the correct level. For the oil type, refer
to
Changing the Engine Oil (page 18) .
•
If the oil level on the dipstick is too high
(
Figure 13 ), drain the excess oil until the oil
on the dipstick is at the correct level; refer to
Changing the Engine Oil (page 18) .
Important:
If the oil level in the engine is too
low or too high and you run the engine, you
may damage the engine.
6. Install the dipstick into the oil-fill tube securely.
