ENGINE OIL
NOTICE! Non-detergent and 2-stroke engine oils will
damage a 4-stroke engine and are not recommended.
1.
Check the oil level before each use
with a cool engine that is level.
2. Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or
exceeds the requirements for the API
(American Petroleum Institute)
service classification (see
Specifications).
3. Do not use special additives
4. SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general, all-temperature use.
Other viscosities shown on the chart may be used when the
average temperature in your area is within the indicated range.
5. Using 10W-30 oil when the temperature is above 27°C (80°F) may
increase oil consumption . Check the oil level more often.
6. Starting the engine will be more difficult when using SAE 30 oil
below 4°C (40°F).
HOW TO CHECK OIL
1.
Level the engine or the equipment the engine is mounted on.
2. Clean the oil fill area of any dirt and debris to prevent
contamination that can damage the engine.
3. The engine has a dipstick that is either
part of the oil fill plug or a separate
component (see Parts Identification).
a. Remove the dipstick and wipe with a
clean cloth.
b. Reinsert the dipstick into the filler
neck until it rests on the opening’s
rim. Do not screw the oil fill plug back into the opening.
c. Remove the dipstick and check that the oil is between the Full
and Fill marks. Add or drain oil based on the measurement
