OIL CAPACITY
The engine holds approximately 5/8 qt (20 ozs; 0.6 liter).
TYPE OF OIL TO USE
• Use a high quality detergent oil classified "For Service
SF, SG, SH, SJ" or higher, such as Briggs &Stratton
SAE 30.
• Do not use special additives.
• Choose a viscosity according to the table opposite.
Note: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2, API
certification mark and API service symbol
(shown at left) with "SJ/CF ENERGY CON-
SERVING" or higher, is an acceptable oil at all
temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not
alter required oil change intervals.

STARTING TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE
CAUTION: Air cooled engines run hotter than
automotive engines. The use of non-synthetic
multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.) in
temperatures above 40 ° F (4° C) will result in higher
than normal oil consumption. When using a
multi-viscosity oil, check oil level more frequently.
CAUTION: SAE 30 oil, if used below 40° F (4° C), will
result in hard starting and possible engine bore
damage due to inadequate lubrication.
CHECKING AND ADDING OIL
• Check oil level before starting the engine.
• Check level daily, or after every eight (8) hours.
• Keep oil level at FULL.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill. Overfilling with oil may cause:
Smoking,
Hard starting,
Spark plug fouling, or
Oil saturation of air filter.
