ENGINE OIL CHANGE
Drain the oil while the engine is warm to assure rapid and complete draining.
1. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil.
2. Open the maintenance cover to access the oil filler cap.
3. Remove the oil filler cap, oil drain bolt and sealing washer, and drain the oil
into the container.
Improper disposal of engine oil can be harmful to the environment.
If you change your own oil, please dispose of the used oil properly. Put it in a
sealed container, and take it to a recycling center. Do not discard it in a trash bin,
dump it on the ground, or pour it down the drain.
4. Install a new sealing washer and the oil drain bolt, and tighten the bolt
securely.

32.5 lbf·ft (44.1 N·m, 4.5 kgf·m)
5. If it is difficult to fill the engine with oil, set the funnel contained in the
generator package to the oil filler port, and pour oil. Refill to the upper limit
mark on the dipstick with the recommended oil (see page 17).
Maximum oil capacity:
Without oil filter replacement: approximately 1.6 US qt (1.5 L)
