Changing the Engine Oil

it. Warm oil flows better and carries more contaminants.

3. Set an oil-drain pan beside the machine by the dipstick.
4. Tip the machine onto its side, with the dipstick down,
to drain the used oil out through the oil-fill tube
(Figure 17).
5. After draining the used oil, return the machine to the
normal operating position.
6. Remove the dipstick and pour about 3/4 of the
crankcase capacity of oil into the oil-fill tube.
Note: Max. fill: 22 oz. (0.65 l), type: 10W-30 or SAE
30 detergent oil with an API service classification of
SJ or higher.
7. Wipe off the dipstick end with a clean cloth.
8. Insert the dipstick into the oil-fill tube, but do not
screw it in.
9. Remove the dipstick and read the oil level on the
dipstick (Figure 16).
•
If the oil level is too low, add a small amount of
oil slowly to the oil-fill tube, and then repeat steps
7 through 9 until the oil level on the dipstick is
correct.
•
If the oil level is too high, drain the excess
oil until the oil level on the dipstick is
correct. To drain the excess oil, refer to
Changing the Engine Oil (page 11).
Important: If the oil level in the crankcase is
too low or too high and you run the engine,
you may damage the engine.
