BEFORE YOU OPERATE

43

The fuel system needs to be primed 
under certain conditions:

• Before starting the engine for the first time

• After running out of fuel and fuel has been added 

to the fuel tank

• After fuel system maintenance such as changing 

the fuel filter and draining the water separator, or 
replacing a fuel system component.

To prime the fuel system:

1. Turn the key to the ON position for 10 to 15 

seconds. This will allow the electric fuel pump to 
prime the fuel system.

2. Never use the starter motor to crank the engine 

in order to prime the fuel system. This may 
cause the starter motor to overheat and 
damage the coils, pinion and/or ring gear.

ENGINE OIL

NOTICE

• Only use the engine oil specified. Other engine 

oils may affect warranty coverage, cause internal 
engine components to seize and/or shorten 
engine life.

• Prevent dirt and debris from contaminating the 

engine oil. Carefully clean the oil cap/dipstick and 
the surrounding area before you remove the cap.

• Never mix different types of engine oil. This may 

adversely affect the lubricating properties of the 
engine oil.

• Never overfill. Overfilling may result in white 

exhaust smoke, engine overspeed or internal 
damage.

Engine Oil Specifications 

Use an engine oil that meets or exceeds the 
following guidelines and classifications:

Service categories

• API service categories CD, CF, CF-4, CI-4

(Use an API CF or higher quality oil for 
electronically controlled engines.)

• ACEA service categories E-3, E-4, and E-5

• JASO service category DH-1

Definitions

• API classification (American Petroleum Institute)

• ACEA classification (Association des 

Constructeurs Européens d’Automobilies)

• JASO (Japanese Automobile Standards 

Organization)
