Changing the Engine Oil
Service Interval:
After the first 5 hours—Change the engine
oil.
Every 25 hours/Yearly (whichever comes
first)—Change the engine oil.
If possible, run the engine just before changing the oil because
warm oil flows better and carries more contaminants.
Use automotive detergent oil with an API service classification
of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher. Refer to your engine owner's
manual.
