welcome to KF check the sight glass with the motor off and cold on level surface.

 

And when you check the manual for the capacity, don't forget that "liters" is not "quarts!!" Don't be tempted to empty the bottle just because "it's close enough." Put in the correct amount. If you add too much, you'll get equally nasty results just as if you added too little. The proper amount should be about 1/3 to halfway up on the sight glass.
