ECA11620CAUTION:
●In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of “CD” or oils of a
higher quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils la-
beled “ENERGY CONSERVING
II” or higher.
●Make sure that no foreign ma-
terial enters the crankcase.11. Start the engine, and then let it
idle for several minutes while
checking it for oil leakage. If oil is
leaking, immediately turn the en-
gine off and check for the cause.
12. Turn the engine off, and then
check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
ECAB0030CAUTION:
The engine oil tank must be filled in
2 steps. First, fill the engine oil tank
with 2.0 L (2.11 US qt) (1.75 Imp.qt)
of the recommended engine oil.
Then, start the engine, race it 5 or 6
times, turn it off, and then add the
remainder of the engine oil.
