Pls just tell me the oil capacity for the Hitachi EC 12. Thx.

The oil reservoir is empty. I don't want to overfill it. The dip stick isn't user friendly (IMHO). Thx.

SOURCE: I have an Hitachi EC-12

Pull the dipstick and notice the notch cut into both sides at bottom (push dipstick all the way in to check oil level). Fill to top of notch. Lowest safe oil level is bottom of notch. This unit does not hold much oil. Always use the compressor on level ground (tilted compressor could cause a lack of lubrication). Good luck

What is the correct oil capacity for a 3 litre Jeep Grand Cherokee 2006 model please?

Most cars have 4 quart oil pans plus 1 quart for the filter. Always add 1 quart at a time, while checking for the full mark on the dip stick.

What level should the engine oil on loncin lx 125-2 should be

The motor is based on the Honda 50/70/90 motor. I'm not certain of the oil capacity but I do know this- The dipstick is not screwed in to check the oil level. Unscrew it, wipe it and dip it into the crankcase (don't screw it in)for the correct oil reading. Honda states oil capacities of between .8 and 1.0 liters.Should be pretty close but don't overfill it.Good luck!

SAE 5W-20 WHAT IS THIS OIL FOR WHAT HAPPENDS IF ITS EMPTY?

It sounds like you are looking at what is on the engine oil fill cap. If that's so, running it empty will absolutely cause major damage to your engine. Locate the dip stick and check the oil level in the engine and add SAE 5w-20 Oil as needed.CAUTION--- Be careful not to overfill.
