Engine Oil - Husqvarna SG 13 B Operator's Manual

Engine Oil

The engine should be warm (but not hot) when
changing the oil. Warm oil flows out faster and leaves
a smaller quantity of old oil inside the engine.
1. Place a suitable container underneath the oil
drainage screw. Remove the oil dipstick and the oil
drainage screw on the back surface of the engine.
Tip: Make a channel using a piece of cardboard
to lead the oil directly into the container to avoid
soiling the machine chassis.
2. Allow the engine oil to drain into the container;
then replace the drainage screw. Tighten it
moderately.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Used engine oil is a health hazard and
legislation prohibits disposal on the ground
or in nature; it should always be disposed
of at a workshop or appropriate disposal
location. Avoid skin contact; wash with soap
and water in case of spills.
3. Make sure the machine is parked on flat ground.
Fill with new oil using the appropriate viscosity
according to the diagram, API Service SF-SG,
to the upper level mark on the dipstick = threads
on the oil dipstick. The engine takes 1.16 qts.
(1.1 liters) of oil. When checking the oil level, the
dipstick should not be screwed in.
4. Check that the rubber gasket is in position and
screw the dipstick back into place. DO NOT
tighten it askew or too hard or you may damage
the threads.
5. Wipe up any spilled oil.
