Then extract it again and read the level on the graduated notches: MAX = maximum level MIN = minimum level The difference is about 300 cm3. The level is correct if it approximately reaches the maximum limit marked on the measure stick. Neither exceed the "MAX" notch, nor stay below the "MIN" notch, in order not to cause severe damages to the engine.
