ENGINE OIL

Recommended Oil

Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or
exceeds the requirements for API
service classification SH, SJ, or
equivalent. Always check the API
service label on the oil container to
be sure it includes the letters SH, SJ,
or equivalent.
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 indicated range.

Oil Level Check

1. Check the oil with the engine stopped and level.
2. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
3. Insert the oil filler cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck as shown, but do
not screw it in, then remove it to check the oil level.
4. If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark on the dipstick,
remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, and fill with the recommended oil to
the upper limit mark (bottom edge of the oil fill hole). Do not overfill.
5. Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick.
