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 classification are in the API label on the oil container. The manufacture
recommends that you use API SERVICE category SJ or SL oil.
Oil Level Check
Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level position.
1) Remove the filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
2) Insert and remove the dipstick with out screwing it into the filler neck. Check the oil level shown on the dipstick.
3) If the oil level is low, fill to the edge of the oil filler hole with the recommended oil.
4) Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely.
Note:
Running the engine with low oil level can cause engine damage.
The oil sensor will automatically stop the engine before the oil level falls below safe limit. However, to avoid
inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, always check the engine oil level before startup.
