O, one more thing. IMO don't over fill crankcase. Almost as bad as not checking it. Keep the oil level in the XXXXXXs on the dip stick. If you over fill it this create blow by pressure which could lead to leaks and oil pushed up into the carb. Through the blow by tube. Basically the excess oil has to go some where cause it expands when it gets hot making even less room in the crankcase so it starts pushing it out and the first place usually up in the air filter housing IMO. Rebuttal???? Open for discussion?
