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. A minimum of 22 ounces

(651 mL) is required. 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.

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 3.

*Use of synthetic oil having 5W-20 or 5W-30 rating is

acceptable.

**Synthetic oils will provide better starting in extreme

cold (below -10°F).

Refer to “Maintenance Instructions” beginning on

page 7 for detailed oil check, oil change, and oil

filter change procedures.
