Well, other than a few spelling errors, not to much but there is a section on oil changes. It says you can check for proper oil level by unscrewing the bolt that is next to your oil lines. You unscrew it and can see if the oil is level with the hole. Ever heard of this? note: i am not talking about the the oil dip stick or the spot to fill it.

I've heard of it and I also stripped the bolt threads are weak, so I suggest not to keep taking it out.

That's for checking the level of oil in the crankcase if there is a suspected problem with the lubrication system.

Nice to know people do read the repair manual.:)
