SERVICING YOUR TILLER

HONDA F220 (E) 00X31-V14-6120 -

ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS

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

SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Other viscosities shown in
the chart may be used when the average temperature in your area is within
the recommended range.

The SAE oil viscosity and service category are in the API label on the oil
container. Honda recommends that you use API SERVICE category SJ or
later (or equivalent) oil.
