Engine Oil Level The oil tank is located on the left side of the vehicle. To check the oil level: 1. Set machine on a level surface. Clean the area around the dip stick. Start and run engine for 20-30 seconds. This will return oil to its true level in the oil tank. Stop engine, remove dipstick (A) and wipe dry with a clean cloth. I was changing my counterbalance fluid on my 99 xplorer 400. I noticed in the manual there is a crankcase drain. Does oil go in there? Or just the counterbalance. I assume the dip stick under the air filter box is for the counterbalance. I noticed there where 2 other drain plugs by the counterbalance drain.
