your expected operating temperature. For most

alter required oil change intervals.
CAUTION: Air cooled engines run hotter than
automotive engines. The use of non-synthetic
multi-viscosity oils such as 5W30 and 10W30
in temperatures above 4°C will result in higher
than normal oil consumption. When using
a multi-viscosity oil, check oil level more
frequently to avoid possible engine damage
from running low on oil.
