THE OIL LEVEL is usually about 1/2 - 3/4 of 1 ( quart or litre..) but the import part is to check the level as you put it in... harder to drain some oil in stead of taking the time to see exactly how much your uses... a lot of places say to run the machine for a while to flush out any crap in the motor from assembly of the motor.... would not hurt to change it after a quick start up... and usually you have some much stuff to do when you first get it,... but check the oil level first..... it is an oil that if it splilled during shipping.. that the government would call out the troops for an oil spill.. .. I would start it and let it run for a couple of minutes.. then drain it... cleans thinks out.. but use the oil for your area and weather conditions ... heavy in the warm weather and little lighter in cold weather.. sythetics for wet clutches if you want to use it,,, but oil is cheap.. so change often for better preformance and will last longer,,
