Use oil classified API Service Class SF,
SG, SH, SJ or better with SAE Viscosity:
5W-30
10W-30
Conventional*
Synthetic 5W-30, 10W-30
˚F -20 0 20
-30 -18 -7
˚C
*CAUTION: Air cooled engines run hotter than automotive engines.
The use of non-synthetic multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.)
in temperatures above 40º F (4ºC) will result in higher than normal
oil consumption. When using a multi-viscosity oil, check oil level
more frequently.
**CAUTION: SAE 30 oil, if used below 40º F (4ºC), will result in hard
starting and possible engine bore damage due to inadequate
lubrication.
