all the way. Remove it again, keeping the
tip lower.

When to Add Oil:
If the oil is at or below the “ADD’ mark,
you’ll need to add some oil. But you musl
use the right kind. This section explains
what kind
of oil to use. For crankcase
capacity, see “Capacities and
Specifications” in the Index.
NOTICE:
Don’t add too much oil. If your
engine has
so much oil that the oil
level gets above the upper mark that
shows the proper operating range,
your engine could be damaged.

Just fill it enough to put the level
somewhere
in the proper operating range.
Push the dipstick all the way back
in
when you’re through.
What Kind of Oil to Use
