the oil filler hole. Debris and water in the
engine oil can cause serious engine dam-
age.

on land with the engine stopped. If the en-
gine was running, allow the engine oil to
settle by waiting 5 minutes or more be-
fore checking the oil level.
(2) Open the engine hood. (See page 53.)
(3) Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean.
