Oil
expands
when it
heats up, so readings
will change. That’s why
it’s recommended that
you check the oil level
before
you start the
engine, while the oil is
still cold.
Make sure
the oil level is above
the ADD mark on the
ENGiNE STOPPED side
of the dipstick.
if you need to check
the oil while the engine
is
running,
the level
should be between the
ADD and fUll marks on
the ENGiNE RUNNinG side
of the dipstick.
if you accidentally add
too much oil, shut off
the engine. Then take off
the engine oil fill plug
and use an AOAP vampire
pump, NSN 4930-01-119-
4030, to remove the
excess.
For more info on
checking engine oil, take
a look at Page 95 of TM
