Changing the Engine Oil and Filter
Service Interval: After the first 200 hours—Change
the engine oil and filter.
Every 200 hours—Change the engine oil and
filter if not using Toro Premium Engine Oil, but
any oil meeting API classification CJ-4 or higher
or as stated in Engine-Oil Specifications.
Every 400 hours—Change the engine oil and
filter if using Toro Premium Engine Oil (API
classification CK-4 or higher) more often in dirty
and dusty conditions.
Yearly—If you operate the machine less than
200 hours, change the engine oil and filter.
If possible, run the engine just before changing the
oil because warm oil flows better and carries more
contaminants than cold oil.
