My mechanic can't remember; is there a dipstick on the 28 526 Runabout engine?

Thanks!

No, I don't believe so, your owners manual describes using a crankcase petcock to monitor the oil level.

To check the oil you pull and turn the 'bent rod' 90 degrees.
If oil drips on the ground...you have enough. If it does not drip...add some.
Think that design would fly with the EPA now?????

Photo of a 1st Series petcock, probably similar to your 526.
