Engine oil level

[jtswatertoy]

I'm checking my engine oil level and I'm not sure if full is to the top curve on the deep stick or if full is to the middle of both curves on the deep stick,
please advice.

Thank you.

I gather your talking about your 4-tec engine. The dip stick is full to the top of the bend in the dip stick. Low is to the bottom bend. The correct level is at the center of the 2 bends. I always check my level to be at the center after the oil change and at everyday pre-run check. Never above or below the marks.

thank you for the info, any major problems if it's a little high or close to the top bend ??
If I have more then the middle mark, were can I buy the pump to take some out &
will I be able to do it my self ..

Oil extractor from West Marine. Company Tempo, Part# 170200 Model# OB5 Retails about $50.00. If the oil is over the fillline it will not rev as quickly or not reach top rpm's. I hope this helps you.

Use the extractor and check for markings on the side... also keep seadoo level and check te oil level on the dip stick.
