Check the oil level on the engine oil reservoir tank. 1. To get a true reading, the vehicle should be on a level spot. 2. Check the oil level on the tank. If it is between the "FULL" or "F" and "LOW" or "L" lines, it is O.K. If the oil level is below the "LOW" or "L" line, add engine oil of the same type as already in the tank. Remove the cap and add engine oil in small quantities at a time, checking the tank. When the level reaches the 'FULL" or "F" line, install the cap hand-tight. 171
