Checking the Engine-Oil Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; however, the
oil level must be checked before and after the engine is first
started.
Crankcase capacity is 6 L (203 oz) with the filter.
Use high-quality engine oil that meets the following
specifications:
•
API Classification Level Required: CH-4, CI-4 or higher
•
Preferred oil: SAE 15W-40 above -18 degrees C (above
0 degrees F)
•
Alternate oil: SAE 10W-30 or 5W-30 (all temperatures)
Toro Premium Engine oil is available from your distributor in
either 15W-40 or 10W-30 viscosity.
Note: The best time to check the engine oil is when the
engine is cool before it has been started for the day. If it has
already been run, allow the oil to drain back down to the
sump for at least 10 minutes before checking. If the oil level
is at or below the add mark on the dipstick, add oil to bring
the oil level to the full mark. Do not overfill. If the oil level
is between the full and add marks, no oil addition is required.
