    Checking oil level -

    Probably most of you figured this out a long time ago, but I would always lift and shake the oil tank to see how much oil I had. That's not a great way to do it.
    Then I came up with this, and it works great. Take a flashlight and place it on top of the clear plastic oil tank, bingo! you can clearly see the oil in the tank.

    Oil tank's usually not that hard to see but, I do keep a light on hand to watch my fuel level at poorly lit gas pumps!
