regular intervals, such as every fuel stop. The best time to

check the engine oil level is about five minutes after a

fully warmed engine is shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will

improve the accuracy of the oil level readings. Maintain

the oil level in the “SAFE” range. Adding one quart of oil

when the reading is at the bottom of the “SAFE” range

will result in an oil level at the top of the “SAFE” range

on these engines.
NOTE:

Fill engine oil one quart at a time.

CAUTION!

Overfilling or underfilling will cause oil aeration

or loss of oil pressure. This could damage your
engine.

CAUTION!

(Continued)

Operating the engine with the oil levels below the

safe zone, or operating with oil levels that exceed the

top of the safe zone may cause engine damage.
