Before you start
- Do not spill oil over the engine; better use a funnel when adding oil.
- Make sure that no oil is added above the upper mark of the dipstick.
Procedure
- Stop the engine and let it cool down before checking the oil level.
- The dipstick is on the right side (seen from the rear), between the oil filter and the raw water pump.
- Check the level; it should be spot-on or close to the upper mark.
- Remove the filler cap on top of the rocker cover at the front, or use the filling entry at the right side.
- Add fresh oil of the same specifications, using a funnel.
- Check the level again with the dipstick.
Specs & values
- The difference between the upper and the lower mark is about 2 liters of oil
