If the oil level is close to or below the
"L" mark, add oil until it reaches the
"F" mark. To add oil:
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pis-

A thin film of oil is left on the

Remove the oil filler cap by turning
it counter-clockwise.
Add oil, then check the level again.
Do not overfill.
Replace the cap by turning it clock-

This oil with some oil of the cylin-
der wall is burned by the high tem-
perature combustion gases during
the combustion process.
The distance between the "F" and "L"
marks is equal to about 1 liter of oil.
