reaches the bottom of the opening. Check the oil level by pushing
the cleaned dipstick into the oil fill opening. DO NOT SCREW IT IN.
Remove the dipstick and inspect it. Add oil if needed. Reinstall the
cap / dipstick.
Oil capacity is 0.63 quarts (0.6 liter). Use 10W-30 oil in normal con-
ditions. Use 10W-40 oil if the engine is to be run in temperatures
over 90°F (32°C) .
Note that the engine has a low-oil monitoring system. If the oil level
drops too low, the system will automatically turn off the engine.

that has an octane rating of 86 or higher.

before starting the engine.
