Checking oil level
The oil level should be checked each time the fuel tank is refilled. Be sure the oil level is maintained
between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. Low oil level can cause internal damage to the
engine and overfilling can result in high oil consumption. The distance between the dipstick marks
represents 2 quarts of oil.
