Oil Recommendations
Using the proper type and weight of oil in the
crankcase is extremely important. So is checking oil
daily and changing oil regularly. Failure to use the
correct oil, or using dirty oil, causes premature engine
wear and failure.
Oil Type
Use high quality detergent oil of API (American
Petroleum Institute) service class SG, SH, SJ
or higher. Select the viscosity based on the air
temperature at the time of operation.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Using other than service class SG, SH, SJ or
higher oil or extending oil change intervals
longer than recommended can cause engine
damage.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Synthetic oils meeting the listed classifications
may be used with oil changes performed
at the recommended intervals. However to
allow piston rings to properly seat, a new or
rebuilt engine should be operated for at least
50 hours using standard petroleum based oil
before switching to synthetic oil.
A logo or symbol on oil containers identifies the API
service class and SAE viscosity grade.
