Checking the Engine Oil Level
Service Interval:
Before each use or daily
Important:
Use 4-cycle motor oil that meets or exceeds
the requirements for API service category
SJ or later
(or
equivalent). Always check the API service label on the
oil container to be sure it includes the SJ or later (or
equivalent) rating.
Do not overfill the crankcase with oil because the engine
may be damaged.
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine
damage. This type of damage is not covered by the
warranty.
Note:
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. The
other oil viscosities shown in the chart may be used when the
average temperature in your area is within the indicated range.
Crankcase capacity:
