Fuel Filler Flap Warnings.
Can any one explain what the following yellow Fuel Flap sticker means?
The manual reads 'Take note of all warnings and instructions given on the lable attached to the inside of the filler flap'
I can not find any reference to it in the manual!!!! ( I may need new glasses)
Does it mean check the oil level as the prescribed mileage? (I check mine weekly and every day on long trips or pulling heavy loads)
Does it mean an additive can/ should be added the the fuel tank at the prescribed mileage. If that is so which additive.? We used to add some 2 stroke oil to the Series 111 at every fill
Or am I trying to read to much into this?

it just means check the oil level every 600miles - nothing more.

OK, quite literally it means:
when you see a warning sign, find a book. Then, after 1000Km or 600miles, look for an oil can above a lake, once found, you are a dipstick.
Is that a better description?
