Oil Level Hot Check
Perform engine oil level HOT CHECK as follows:
1. Ride motorcycle until engine is at normal operating temperature.
2. With the vehicle upright on level ground, allow engine to idle for 1 2 minutes. Turn engine
off.
3. With vehicle on jiffy stand remove and wipe off the dipstick. Insert dipstick back into the oil
tank with the plug pushed completely into the filler neck.
4. Remove the dipstick and note the level of the oil. Add only enough oil to bring the level to
the FULL mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
NOTE:
Refer to Recommended Engine Oils. Use only recommended oil specified under Engine
Lubrication.
5. Start engine and carefully check for oil leaks around drain plug and oil filter.
Engine oil level should be checked only when engine is at normal operating temperature.
NOTE:
The engine will require a longer warm up period in colder weather.
Do not allow hot oil level to fall below Add/Fill mark on
dipstick. Doing so can result in equipment damage and/or
equipment malfunction. (00189a)
Do not overfill oil tank. Doing so can result in oil carryover
to the air cleaner leading to equipment damage and/or
equipment malfunction. (00190a)
Check engine oil supply at each complete fuel refill.
Refer to Regular Service Intervals: 2005 Softail Models. Oil should be changed at
proper intervals in normal service at warm or moderate temperatures.
Oil change intervals should be shorter in cold weather. See Winter Lubrication.
