lint-free cloth.
Fig. 24 Oil Dipstick & Cap
Insert the dipstick fully into the dipstick hole and re-
move. Examine the level of the oil on the dipstick.
Fig. 25 Check Oil Level on Dipstick
The engine can be operated safely as long as oil is with-
in the safe operating range as indicated on the dip stick.
DO NOT operate vehicle if the oil level is below the
safe area indicated on the dipstick.
Oil should be added to bring the level into the safe oper-
ating range. Remember that oil expands as it gets hot.
DO NOT overfill the engine with oil . Check that the oil
cap is firmly in place.
When adding oil between oil changes, do not mix brands and
viscosity grades of oil.
Both the oil dipstick and cap must be in place before operating
the engine. Failure to install the dipstick and cap will result in
oil becoming contaminated and/or oil being discharged into the
engine compartment.

For maximum performance and longevity, the engine oil
should be replaced after the first 8 hours of operation.
After the initial oil change, it should be changed every
125 hours of operation or semi-annually, whichever
comes first.
The selection of oil is dependent upon the service that
the vehicle will perform. Most vehicles require 10W-30
oil, whereas vehicles used at capacity or near capacity
load applications will utilize 10W-40 oil after a break-in
period of 100 hours.

If the vehicle is to be stored over the winter months, it can be
stored with the oil left in engine. The oil should be changed as
part of spring maintenance. This will remove any moisture that
has accumulated during storage.
