To check and refill engine oil
The engine oil used has a signifi
cant effect on the engine’s per-
formance, service life and startabi
lity. Be sure to use oil of the
recommended quality and appropriate viscosity. All engines consume a certain amount of oil during normal operation. Therefore, it is important to check the oil level atregular intervals or before starting a long trip.
