Oil Level Cold Check
As part of the preride inspection, perform engine oil level COLD
CHECK
 as follows:
1.
With the motorcycle resting on the jiffy stand on level
ground, unthread the filler plug cap to remove the dipstick.
2.
Wipe off the dipstick. Insert it back into the oil pan and
thread the plug cap completely into the fill spout.
3.
See Figure 45. Remove the dipstick and verify the level
of the oil. The correct oil level should register between the
two arrows (1) on the dipstick.
4.
If oil level is at or below the lower arrow, add only enough
oil to bring the level to the middle of the two marks on the
dipstick.
NOTE
The reverse side of the dipstick measures oil levels on Harley-
Davidson models equipped with a sidecar. For the FLHT-
CUSE3, be sure the oil level measurement is taken on the side
of the dipstick marked with the HOT FULL and ADD QT arrows
and cross hatched scale.

pletely into the fill spout.
