Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Remove the seat (see Hull/Engine Hood chapter)
Remove the dipstick [A], wipe it dry and insert it back to
the dipstick tube [B], and then remove it again to check
the oil level.
Check the oil level using the hot level mark on the dipstick
[A].
High Level Line when Hot [B]
Low Level Line when Hot [C]
If the oil level is too high, drain the excess oil thoroughly
from the dipstick tube [A] using a commercially-available
vacuum pump [B].
If the oil level is too low, add the oil to the high level line
through the oil filler opening (see Periodic Maintenance
chapter). Use the same type and make of oil that is al-
ready in the engine.
NOTE
If the engine oil type and make are unknown, use any
brand of the specified oil to top off the level in preference
to running the engine with the oil level low. Then at your
earliest convenience, change the oil completely.
Engine Oil Change
