ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
Oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life.
Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service category SE or later (or
equivalent).
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 on the API label on the oil container.
