Filling the Crankcase with Oil

No Parts Required
Procedure
Important: The engine crankcase is shipped without
oil.
You must fill the engine crankcase with oil before starting
the engine.
The engine crankcase can hold 22 ounces (0.65 liters) of
oil. Use only high-quality SAE 10W-30 weight detergent oil
that has the American Petroleum Institute (API) service
classification SH, SJ, or equivalent.
Before each use, ensure that the oil level is between the lower
limit and upper limit marks on the dipstick (Figure 9).
