OIL FILL
[5]. Replace dipstick firmly.
CAUTION:
When filling engine or adding oil.
To prevent engine damage upon
start-up, proper venting is necessary
when filling engine with oil or adding oil.
In addition to ensuring a level engine,
removing dipstick, and pouring oil
slowly
, there must be clearance
between the oil fill device and the oil fill
hole in the valve cover as shown. This
clearance is necessary to permit
venting when filling, which prevents oil
from overrunning into breather.
