Servicing the Engine Oil
Engine-Oil Specifications
The engine ships with oil in the crankcase; however,
check the oil level before and after you first start
the engine. Check the oil level before operating the
machine each day or each time you use the machine.
Crankcase capacity: 6.6 L (7 US qt) with the filter
Preferred engine oil: Toro Premium Engine Oil
If using an alternate oil, use high-quality, low-ash
engine oil that meets or exceeds the following
specifications:
•
API service category CJ-4 or higher
•
ACEA service category E6
•
JASO service category DH-2
Important:
Using engine oil other than API
classification CJ-4 or higher, ACEA E6, or JASO
DH-2 may cause the diesel particulate filter to plug
or cause engine damage.
Use the following engine oil viscosity grade:
•
SAE 10W-30 or 5W-30 (all temperatures)
•
SAE 15W-40 (above 0° F)
Note:
Toro Premium Engine oil is available from
your distributor. See the Parts Catalog or contact an
authorized Toro distributor for part numbers.
