So why Do crankcases still get over³
Fled? BecaUse:
li
Troopers frget that all crank´
cases aren't equal. The Aµµ mark on
their car's DiPstick means the engine
neeDs a qUart o¶ oil. ·heir generator
engine's capacity might onlY be two
quarts. Try to aDD a quart to that anD
you'll over¸ll quick¹like.
LI
They frget that the true oil level
can be measureD only aºer the engine's
cooleD. That gives oil a chance to Drain
o» the working parts where it's been
Doing its job anD into the crankcase
where it can be measureD.
LI
Some even ¼rget that ½¾LL means
to the ¿ll
line
on the Dipstick, not the
top o¶ the word ½¾LÀ
Give

a chance. Æheck oiÇ oºen anÈ aDD Just
enough to keep it at the ¿ll markÉ Ê¶ in
Doubt, remember that an engine works
better a litËle unDer ¿ll, not a liÌtle over.
Give the oil in the engine a chance to
luÍe, cool and clean by keeping your
generator set on level grounD. Setting
it on a slÎnt will KeeP oil ÏoÐ getting
to all moving parts.
