Engine Oil - Honda BF75D Owner's Manual

Engine Oil

Engine oil is a major factor
affecting engine performance
and service life. Nondetergent
and low quality oils are not
recommended, because they
have inadequate lubricating
properties.
Running the engine with
insufficient oil can cause serious
engine damage.
