Change and add oil according to chart below. Do not overfill. Engine oil capacity is 2 quarts. We recommend
high-quality detergent oils classified for service SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives. Out -
door temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity
for the outdoor temperature range expected.

ENGINE
For Kubota Diesel engine
Use oil classified “For Service CC, CD or CE” API oil. Use no special additives with recommended oils. Do not
mix oil with gasoline. If the CF-4 or CG-4 lubrication oil is used with high-sulfur fuel, change the lubricating oil
more often.

SAE VISCOSITY GRADES
Use of multi-viscosity oils (10W-30, etc.) above 80° F (27° C) will result in high oil consumption and possible
engine damage. Check oil level more frequently if using these types of oils.
SAE 30 oil, if used below 40° F (4° C), will result in hard starting and possible engine bore damage due to
inadequate lubrication.
