Checking the Oil Level on a dry sump system is a bit of a different procedure than a normal oiling system.
The engine must be warmed up. Cold oil will not give a correct oil level reading.
After the engine is warmed up to at least 175°F (80°C), shut off the engine. (Checking the oil with the engine running will result in an incorrect reading.) Dah
Wait for 5 minutes (but not more than 20 minutes), to allow the oil to drain and settle.
Pull the dipstick with the yellow handle from the reservoir, and clean it with a lint-free cloth. Then push it back in all the way until it stops. Remove it again, keeping the tip down, and note the oil level on the crosshatched area.
An oil level within the crosshatched area is normal. If the level is below the crosshatched area, add 5W30 Mobil 1 synthetic oil through the black oil reservoir fill cap to get the level back in the crosshatched area as needed, then take another reading.
TIP: Do not overfill the reservoir, as this may result in excessive oil consumption. Oil levels above the crosshatched area may degrade lubrication system performance.
