not overfill. After adding oil, wait one minute, then recheck
the oil level.
Note: Do not add oil at the quick oil drain (if equipped).

Oil Pressure
If the oil pressure is too low, a pressure switch (if equipped)
will either stop the engine or activate a warning device on the
equipment. If this occurs, stop the engine and check the oil
level with the dipstick.
If the oil level is below the ADD mark, add oil until it reaches
the FULL mark. Start the engine and check for proper pressure
before continuing to operate.
If the oil level is between the ADD and FULL marks, do not
start the engine. Contact an authorized dealer to have the oil
pressure problem corrected.
