Crankcase Oil Capacity; Changing The Engine Oil And Filter - Toro Groundsmaster 31223TE Operator's Manual

If the engine oil level is above the Full mark,
change the engine oil.

engine is cool before it has been started for the day.
If it has already been run, allow the oil to drain back
down to the sump for at least 10 minutes before
checking. If the oil level is at or below the Add mark
on the dipstick, add oil to bring the oil level to the Full

Important:
Keep the engine oil level between the
upper and lower limits on the dipstick; the engine
may fail if you run it with too much or too little oil.
