I have a 92 Bayou 300 and when it is running all I see is the oil level drop to nothing. I shut it down and wait 20 minutes and the oil level it up where it should be.

Hope it helps

Hello:

I had a 1993 Bayou 300 4x4 and the oil level done the same thing that givey's does. the level just dropped to nothing while it was running. There is a pressure check bolt on the back of the head that you can loosen and check the pressure. just locate it and losen it. Start the engine, and if you don't see oil seeping out arround the bolt within 1 minute of running, you have no oil pressure. If there is no oil seeping out, DON'T RUN IT ANYMORE AND GET IT TO A SHOP ASAP!!!

Hope this helps
Jack
