Oil Recommendations
Using the proper type and weight of oil in the
crankcase is extremely important. So is checking oil
daily and changing oil regularly. Failure to use the
correct oil, or using dirty oil, causes premature engine
wear and failure.
Oil Type
Use high-quality detergent oil of
API (American
Petroleum Institute) service class SG, SH, SJ or
higher
. Select the viscosity based on the air
temperature at the time of operation as shown in the
following table.
Figure 6-1. Viscosity Grades Table.
NOTE: Using other than service class SG, SH, SJ or
higher oil or extending oil change intervals
longer than recommended can cause engine
damage.
A logo or symbol on oil containers identifies the API
service class and SAE viscosity grade. See Figure 6-2.
Figure 6-2. Oil Container Logo.
Check Oil Level
The importance of checking and maintaining the
proper oil level in the crankcase cannot be
overemphasized. Check oil
BEFORE EACH USE
as
follows:
1. Make sure the engine is stopped, level, and is
cool so the oil has had time to drain into the
sump.
2. To keep dirt, grass clippings, etc., out of the
engine, clean the area around the oil fill cap/
dipstick before removing it.
3. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick; wipe oil off.
Reinsert the dipstick into the tube and fully seat
the dipstick in the tube. See Figure 6-3.
*Use of synthetic oil having 5W-20 or 5W-30 rating is acceptable,
up to 4
°
C (40
°
F).
**Synthetic oils will provide better starting in extreme cold below
-23
°
C
(-10
°
F).
***30 weight acceptable above 0°C (32°F).
