vals, particularly during the period up to the
first scheduled maintenance service.

10–15 minutes after the engine has been
switched off before checking the oil.

the oil level.
3. Add oil if necessary. If the level is close to
the MIN mark, add approximately
1 US quart (1 liter) of oil.
4. Run the engine until it reaches normal
operating temperature.

10–15 minutes and recheck the oil level. If
necessary, add oil until the level is near the
MAX mark.

•Not checking the oil level regularly can
result in serious engine damage if the oil
level becomes too low.
•Oil that is lower than the specified qual-
ity can damage the engine.
•Always add oil of the same type and
viscosity as already used.
•Never fill oil above the MAX mark. This
could cause an increase in oil consump-
tion.
