I bought this second hand and don't have any kind of owner's manual (and can't find one online). I'm not technologically challenged but I have one simple question. When I check the oil level, how do I know what means add and what means full? Let me clarify before y'all think I'm daft. On my car, the dipstick has "ADD" and "FULL" written on the dipstick, pretty much self-explanatory. On the Longbo, there is about 1 inch at the end of the dipstick covered in hash marks, and that's it. Where in this area should I consider adding oil, and where should I consider it full? Also, do I screw in the dipstick to check the level?

I appreciate your patience.

Ride on. o_o

If the oil level is at the top hash mark, it is full. Chinese scooters usually recommend to put the scooter on the center stand and just put the dipstick in but not screw it down. If you check it while on the kick stand, if you have one, it will give you a false reading. I would think you could find an operators's manual to download for the Longbo somewhere on the internet. Check out some distributors or see if you can find a Dealer here in the U.S.
