Add Engine Oil
The mower is shipped WITHOUT OIL
in the engine. Remove the oil filler
cap/dipstick and add the entire
contents of the included bottle of oil
into the oil filler opening.
All Honda engines are run at the
factory prior to packaging. Most of the
oil is removed prior to shipment;
however, some oil remains in the
engine. The amount of oil left in the engine varies.
If you don't use the supplied oil, add enough SAE 10W-30 API service
category SJ or later oil to bring the oil level between the upper and
lower limit marks on the dipstick—without screwing the dipstick in
(approximately 12 to 13.5 ounces is required). See
Do not overfill the engine with oil. If the engine is overfilled, the
excess oil may get transferred to the air cleaner housing and air filter.
An indication of overfilling is white or blue smoke coming from the
muffler when the engine is running.
After filling the engine with oil, screw the filler/cap dipstick in and
remove the hang tag near the recoil starter grip that says "The engine
has no oil."
