Engine Oil Filling
1. Add engine oil; use a funnel or pour spout to direct the oil into the opening
or
. With
filter change, the engine requires:
•
Honda gasoline engines: 1 qt. and 25 oz. (1.7 L) of oil per change.
•
Kawasaki gasoline engines: 1 qt. and 19 oz. (1.5 L) of oil per change.
•
Kubota diesel engines: 3 qt. (2.8 L) of oil per change.
2. Refer to oil viscosity guidelines for selection of oil grade
or
.
See following CAU-
TION.
CAUT ION
• Do not exceed recommended oil capacity. Doing so will decrease engine performance or
result in damage to the engine.
3. Connect the battery cables, positive (+) cable first, and tighten terminals to 144 in-lb (16 N·m). Coat ter-
minals with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI P/N 1014305).
4. With the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, start and run the engine for a few minutes.
Observe both the drain plug and the oil filter from under the vehicle and watch for oil leaks. If a leak is
detected, check the tightness of the oil filter and drain plug. Tighten, repair, and/or replace components
as necessary.
See following NOTE.
NOTE: Wait five minutes after turning off the engine before removing the dipstick.
5. Remove the dipstick and check the engine oil as a final step. Replace the dipstick.
OIL VISCOSITY
Choose the viscosity according to the temperature as shown in the appropriate oil viscosity chart
or
.
See following NOTE.
NOTE: Use engine oil with API classification SJ for gasoline engines and CF for diesel engines.
Using multi-grade oils (5W-20, 10W-30, and 10W-40) may increase oil consumption. If multi-grade oil is used,
check the oil level more frequently.
