2.
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for API
(American Petroleum Institute) service classification SF. Always check the
API Service label on the oil container to be sure it includes the letters SF.
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 (E) or a
separate component (see Parts Identification).
a. Remove the dipstick (E) 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.
