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 approximately 3.3 L (3.5 US qt) with
the filter.
Note: Toro Premium Engine oil is available from your
distributor in either 15W-40 or 10W-30 viscosity. See the
parts catalog for part numbers.
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, additional oil is not required.
The engine uses any high-quality 10W-30 detergent oil having
the American Petroleum Institute (API) service classification
SJ, SK, SL, SM, or higher. Choose a viscosity according to
the table in Figure 42.

Note: When adding oil, remove the dipstick to
allow proper venting. Pour oil slowly and check the
level-of-the-oil often during this process. Do not
overfill.
Important: When adding engine oil or filling oil,
there must be clearance between the oil fill device
