Some oil will remain in the engine after draining. When refilling
with fresh oil, start with less than 80 cm (2.7 US oz, 2.8 lmp oz).

hole as shown below.
With the engine in a level position, fill to the bottom edge of the
oil fill hole with the recommended oil (see page
Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick and tighten securely.
If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark on the
dipstick, fill to the bottom edge of the oil fill hole with the
recommended oil (see page
). To avoid overfilling or
underfilling, be sure the engine is in a level position, as shown,
while adding oil.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible
with the environment. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed
container to your local recycling center or service station for
reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground, or
pour it down a drain.
Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and drain the oil into the
container by tipping the engine toward the oil filler neck.
Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil.
Check that the fuel filler cap is tightened securely.
Drain the used oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains
quickly and completely.
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
This type of damage is not covered by the Distributor’s Limited
Warranty.
Running the engine with a low or excessive oil level can cause
engine damage. This type of damage is not covered by the
