4. Start the engine, run it at idle for 5 minutes, shut off
the engine, wait for 3 minutes, and then check the
engine-oil level. If needed, add oil up to the F
ULL
mark
on the dipstick.
Important:
Be sure to keep the engine-oil level
between the upper and lower limits on the oil gauge.
Engine failure may occur as a result of over filling or
under-filling the engine oil.
Important:
Add the oil very slowly and do not block the
opening of the filler hole ( Figure 48 ). If you add oil too
fast or block the hole, the oil could back up and foul the
air intakes, causing engine damage.
