Checking Oil Level: Softail Models
Oil level cannot be accurately measured on a cold engine.
For pre ride inspection, with motorcycle leaning on jiffy
stand on level ground, oil should register on dipstick
between arrows when engine is cold. Do not add oil to
bring the level to the FULL mark on a COLD engine.
(00185a)
For dipstick location, see Checking Oil Tank Level: Softail Models.
NOTE:
The motorcycle should be on jiffy stand when checking oil level.
Oil Level Cold Check
Perform engine oil level COLD CHECK as follows:
1. For preride inspection with the vehicle on jiffy stand on level ground, wipe off the dipstick
and insert it back into the oil tank with the plug pushed completely into the fill spout.
2. Remove the dipstick and verify oil registers on the dipstick between the two marks.
a. See Engine Oil Level: Softail Models. If oil level registers on the dipstick, proceed
to Oil Level Hot Check.
b. If oil does not register on the dipstick, proceed to step 3.
3. With the dipstick removed, look into the dipstick opening and verify the oil level is at the filler
neck weld.
a. If the oil level is at or near the filler neck weld, proceed to Oil Level Hot Check.
b. If the oil level is not at or near the filler neck weld, add only enough oil to bring the
level to the filler neck weld. Then proceed to Oil Level Hot Check.
