MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
87
j
Engine Oil
In order for the engine to function properly, main-
tain the engine oil at the proper level, and change the
oil and oil filter in accordance with the Periodic Main-
tenance Chart. Not only do dirt and metal particles
collect in the oil, but the oil itself loses its lubricative
quality if used too long.
WARNING
Vehicle operation with insufficient, deterio-
rated, or contaminated engine oil will cause
accelerated wear and may result in engine
seizure, accident, and injury. Check the oil
level before each use and change the oil and
filter according to the periodic maintenance
chart in the owner’s manual.
Oil Level Inspection
•
If the oil has just been changed, start the engine
and run it for several minutes at idle speed. This
fills the oil filter with oil. Stop the engine, then wait
several minutes until the oil settles.
NOTICE
Racing the engine before the oil reaches ev-
ery part can cause engine damage.
•
If the vehicle has just been used, wait several min-
utes for all the oil to drain down.
•
Park the vehicle on level ground.
•
Pull up the dipstick out of the dipstick tube, wipe
it dry, and insert the dipstick till it bottoms into the
tube securely.
NOTE
○
It is necessary to match indent of the dipstick
with the mark on the tube to measure the correct
amount of oil.
