OIL DIP STICK
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil about
1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in the
dipstick while checking.
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will stop
when the oil level in the crankcase falls below the threshold
level.
The first 5 hours of run time is the break-in period for the
engine. During the break in period, it is recommended to use
standard automotive, non-synthetic blended oils. After the
break-in period synthetic oil, can be used but is not required.
Adjusting throttle setting will increase/ decrease engine speed
helping to seat piston rings. Avoid bogging or lugging the
engine down and avoid prolonged running at constant RPM.
After the 5 hour break-in period, change the oil.
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-
in period. Using synthetic oil does not decrease the
recommended oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil
will aid in starting the engine in cold ambient < 41º F (5º C)
temperatures.
Weather will affect engine oil and engine performance. Change
the type of engine oil used based on weather conditions to suit
the engine needs.
