Changing The Engine Oil And Filter; Checking The Cooling System - Toro Reelmaster 2300-D Service Manual

Changing the Engine Oil and Filter

Change oil and filter initially after the first 20 hours of op-
eration. Thereafter, change oil every 50 hours and filter
every 100 hours.
1. Position machine on a level surface.
2. Locate engine oil drain plug on the bottom of oil pan
and place a collecting pan below it. Remove drain plug
and let oil flow into the collecting pan. When the oil stops
draining, install drain plug.
3. Locate engine filter on the front of the engine. Re-
move oil filter. Apply a light coat of clean oil to the new
filter seal before screwing it on. DO NOT OVERTIGH-
TEN.
Note: The crankcase capacity is approximately 2.8
qts. (3.0 L) with filter. The engine uses any high–quality
10W30 detergent oil having the American Petroleum In-
stitute – API – "service classification" CD.
4. Add oil to the crankcase.
A. Remove oil fill cap (Fig. 14) and gradually add
small quantities of oil .
B. Check oil level frequently until the level reaches
the FULL mark on dipstick (Fig 15). When removing
the dipstick, wipe it with a clean rag prior to inserting
it to check the oil level.
C. Push dipstick down into dipstick tube and make
sure it is seated fully when finished (Fig 15).

Checking the Cooling System
