    Default Check the Oil

    Where do you check the oil and coolant on a 2017 F3 Ltd.?
    I bought one yesterday and there was no manual in it.

    If you bought it from a dealer, go back and wring it out of them. Otherwise, drill down to your model at this link: http://www.operatorsguides.brp.com/I...adster&type=og.

    Read the maintenance schedule on pg 113-114. The dipstick is on the oil filler cap, see page 120. Read the operator's guide on how to correctly check the oil level. Page 124 of the guide tells how to check the coolant level.

    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

    Oil dipstick is under right hand side service cover. Coolant bottle is under black plastic cover just above frunk latch. Right hand side.

    Did you check the frunk for your manual? If its not there, you really should go back and get it.
