clean, insert it back into the oil filler hole
(without screwing it in), and then remove
it again to check the oil level.

The engine oil should be between the “H” and
“L” level marks on the dipstick.
6. If the engine oil is below the “L” level
mark, add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it to the “H” level
mark. (See page 74 for the recommend-
ed oil.)
