For maximum performance and longevity, the engine oil
should be replaced after the first 8 hours of operation.
After the initial oil change, it should be changed every
125 hours of operation or semi-annually, whichever
comes first.
The selection of oil is dependent upon the service that
the vehicle will perform. Most vehicles require 10W-30
oil, whereas vehicles used at capacity or near capacity
load applications will utilize 10W-40 oil after a break-in
period of 100 hours (Ref Fig. 23 on page 21).

If vehicle is to be stored over winter months, it can be stored
with old oil left in engine. The oil should be changed as part of
spring maintenance. This will remove any moisture that has
accumulated during storage.
Be aware that engine fluids may be hot and
contact to the skin may cause severe burns.
Wear rubber gloves to protect skin from
exposure to the old oil and degreaser.
The oil should be changed with engine warm. Park vehicle on a
level surface, engage parking brake and remove key. Place a
drain pan under engine. Wipe top of the engine clean with a
cloth (Ref Fig. 24 on page 21). Remove the oil fill cap.
