Oil Level Check; Oil Change - Honda GX25 Owner's Manual

Oil Level Check

Check the engine oil level before each use, or every 10 hours if
operated continuously.
Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level
position.
1. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
2. Insert and remove the oil filler cap/dipstick without screwing it
into the oil filler neck, then remove it to check the oil level shown
on the dipstick.
3. If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark on the
dipstick, fill to the bottom edge of the oil fill hole with the
recommended oil (see page ). To avoid overfilling or
underfilling, be sure the engine is in a level position, as shown,
while adding oil.

4. Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick and tighten securely.
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
This type of damage is not covered by the Distributor's Limited
Warranty.

Oil Change

Drain the used oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains
quickly and completely.
1. Check that the fuel filler cap is tightened securely.
2. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil.
3. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and drain the oil into the
container by tipping the engine toward the oil filler neck.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible
with the environment. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed
container to your local recycling center or service station for
reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground, or
pour it down a drain.

with fresh oil, start with less than 80 cm (2.7 US oz, 2.8 lmp oz).
Slowly add enough oil to fill to the bottom edge of the oil fill
hole as shown below.
Running the engine with a low or excessive oil level can cause
