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.
<Recommended oil>
Use Honda 4-stroke oil or an
equivalent high detergent, premium
quality motor oil certified to meet or
exceed U.S. automobile
manufacturer's requirements for API
Service category SG, SH, SJ or SL.
Motor oils classified SG, SH, SJ or
SL will show this designation on the
container.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for
general use.
