ENGINE OIL
Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life.
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 vis-
cosities shown in the chart may be used when the average
temperature in your area is within the indicated range. (Fig.
1)

ENGINE OIL CAPACITY
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 auto-
matically stop the engine before the oil level falls
below the safe limit. However, to avoid the in-
convenience of an unexpected shutdown, always
check the engine oil level before startup.
