Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil.
Recommended Oil: Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or
exceeds the requirements for API service classification
SJ, SL, or equivalent. Always check the API service label
on the oil container to be sure it includes the letters SJ,
SL, or equivalent.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Other
viscosities shown in the chart may be used when the
average temperature in your area is within the indicated

To fill with oil:
1. Level the engine to ensure accurate inspection and
to prevent overfilling.
2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean.
3. Fully insert the dipstick, then remove it to check the oil
level.
4. If the oil level is low, remove the oil filler cap, and fill to the
upper limit mark on the dipstick with the recommended
oil. (Fig. 2)
5. Reinstall the dipstick and filler cap.
NOTE: Running the engine with a low oil level can cause
engine damage.
The Oil Alert system (applicable types) will
automatically stop the engine before the oil level
falls below the safe limit. However, to avoid the
inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, always
check the engine oil level before startup.
