Checking & Adding Oil

allow the oil to properly distribute itself in the
engine.
3. Support the CRF in an upright position on a
level surface.
4. Remove the engine oil fill cap/dipstick (1),
wipe it clean, and insert the engine oil fill cap/
dipstick without screwing it in. Remove the oil
fill cap/dipstick.
5. Check that the oil level is between the upper
(2) and lower (3) level marks on the engine oil
fill cap/dipstick.

you do not have to add oil.
• If the oil is below or near the lower level
mark, add the recommended oil until it
reaches the upper level mark. (Do not
overfill)
