7. MAINTENANCE
5. After changing the engine oil, and before starting the engine, check
the oil level with the mower on a level surface:
a. Wipe the dipstick clean.
b. Insert and remove the
dipstick without screwing it
into the filler neck. Check the
oil level shown on the
dipstick.
c. If the oil level is low, add oil
to reach the upper limit mark
on the dipstick. Do not
overfill. If the engine is
overfilled, the excess oil may
get transferred to the air
cleaner housing and air
cleaner filter.
NOTICE
Running the engine with a
low oil level can cause
engine damage.
d. Screw in the filler
cap/dipstick securely.
Engine Oil Recommendations
Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life. Use
4-stroke automotive detergent oil.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Other viscosities
shown in the chart may be used when the average temperature in
your area is within the recommended range.
The SAE oil viscosity
and service
classification are in the
API label on the oil
container. Honda
recommends that you
use API SERVICE
category SH or SJ oil
with the ILSAC API certification mark displayed on the container.
