ENGINE OIL

Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life.
Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil.

Recommended Oil

Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for
API service category SJ or later (or equivalent). Always check the
API service label on the oil container to be sure it includes the
letters SJ or later (or equivalent).

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE

SAE 10W-30 or 5W-30 is recommended for general use. Use a full
synthetic 5W-30 for starting/operating temperatures between 5°F
(–15°C) and –13°F (–25°C). Other viscosities shown in the chart
may be used when the average temperature in your area is within
the indicated range.

Oil Level Check

Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level
position.
1. Start the engine and let it idle for 1 or 2 minutes. Stop the
engine and wait for 2 or 3 minutes.
2. Remove the oil level dipstick and wipe it clean.
3. Fully insert the oil level dipstick, and then remove it to check
the oil level.
4. If the oil level is low, remove the oil filler cap, and fill with the
recommended oil to the upper limit mark on the oil level
dipstick.
5. Reinstall the oil level dipstick and oil filler cap.

Oil Change

Drain the used oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains
quickly and completely.
1. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil,
and then remove the oil filler cap, drain bolt, and sealing washer.
2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the drain
bolt and new sealing washer, and tighten the drain bolt
securely.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible
with the environment. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed
container to your local recycling center or service station for
reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground,
or pour it down a drain.
