Engine oil and oil filter car-
tridge The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up until
the engine oil has reached a nor-
mal temperature of 60 °C (140 °F),
let it continue to idle for ten sec-
onds, and then turn the engine off.TIPTo achieve the proper engine oil tem-
perature for an accurate oil level read-
ing, the engine must have first
completely cooled down, and then
warmed up again for several minutes to
normal operating temperature.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set-
tles, remove the engine oil filler
cap, wipe the engine oil dipstick
clean, insert it back into the oil filler
hole (without screwing it in), and
then remove it again to check the
oil level.TIPThe engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the engine oil is at or below the
minimum level mark, add sufficient
oil of the recommended type to
raise it to the correct level.TIPWhen adding oil, be careful not to over-
fill the engine oil tank; the oil level rises
faster starting from the half level portion
on the dipstick.5. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler
hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.
