3. Do not use special additives.
4. SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general, all-temperature use. Other
viscosities shown on the chart may be used when the average temperature in
your area is within the indicated range (Fig. 3).
5. Above 27°C (80°F), using 10W-30 oil may increase oil consumption. Check
the oil level more often.
6. Below 4°C (40°F), using SAE 30 oil will cause hard starting.
HOW TO CHECK OIL
1. Level the engine or the equipment the engine is mounted on.
2. Clean the oil fill area of any dirt and debris to prevent contamination that
can damage the engine.
3. The engine has a dipstick
that is either part of the oil
fill plug (4-1) or a separate
component (see Parts
Identification).
a.
Remove the dipstick
(Fig. 4-1) and wipe
with a clean cloth.
b. Reinsert the dipstick into the filler neck until it rests on the opening’s
rim. Do not screw the oil fill plug back into the opening (Fig. 4).
c.
Remove the dipstick and check that the oil is between the Full and Fill
marks. Add or drain oil based on the measurement.
d. Reinsert the dipstick and either press firmly to hold in place or screw the
oil fill cap hand tight.
HOW TO ADD OIL
IMPORTANT! Read the Engine Oil section before adding oil to ensure that it
is suitable for the engine.
1. Remove the oil filler cap (D) and place to one side.
2. Place a funnel into the oil fill neck. The funnel opening should be wide
enough to prevent the oil from collecting in the funnel’s cone.
