What's the proper method for checking oil level. I seem to remember something not quite as the manual states to keep the oil IN the engine. Thanks.

Get engine hot. After engine is shut down, check oil level stick. Should be about 1/2 way up the stick.

If checking cold, oil level should just be touching the bottom of the oil level stick.

Going from memory here...

...and the S2 tends to self-regulate. Check it a few times, to learn what IT thinks is the correct level, then just go with it. Too much, it'll puke it out or burn it; too little and you'll hear lifter tap. Fill to spec, let it consume it to where it wants it...and go with that.

I've got it about halfway between the 2 marks when hot, seems to work so far.
