   Note: Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Lubricant Viscosities" and Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Capacities (Refill)" for the correct amount of oil that is used when the oil is changed. The correct amount of oil determines the correct level of the oil in the FULL range on the dipstick.

   NOTICE
   Do not overfill the crankcase. The oil level must not reach the top of the FULL range mark or above the FULL range mark.

3. Maintain the oil level on the dipstick between the "FULL RANGE". Add oil if the oil level is too low. If the oil level is correct, close the engine compartment.

   Note: Operating your engine with the oil level above the FULL mark in the FULL Range could cause the crankshaft to dip into the oil. This could result in excessively high operating temperatures. The high operating temperatures could result in reduced lubricating characteristics of the oil. This could cause damage to the bearings and loss of engine power.
