ENGINE OIL

NOTICE! Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service
life. Non-detergent and 2-stroke engine oils will damage a 4-stroke engine and
are not recommended.
High-quality detergent engine oils are acceptable if the (API) performance
rating is SJ or higher. Always check the API service label on the oil container for
the performance rating.
1. Check the oil level before each use with a cool engine that is level.
2. Use 4-stroke motor oil that
meets or exceeds the
requirements for API (American
Petroleum Institute) service
classification SJ. Always check
the API Service label on the oil
container to be sure it includes
the letters SJ.
3. Do not use special additives.
4. SAE 10W-40 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 (M) or a
separate component (see Parts Identification).
a. Remove the dipstick (M) and wipe with a clean cloth.
