Checking the Engine Oil Level

1) Maintain Proper Oil Level

Between "ADD"(Y) and "Full" (X)

the oil level Gauge. DO NOT fill

above "Full" mark as catastrophic

engine damage will occur.

2) Remove the oil filler cap and add oil if necessary. Clean the oil filler cap

with a clean rag or towel. Reinstall the oil filler cap by hand.

Use only good quality Lubricating Oil, which meets the following Specifications.

The minimum ambient temperature during cold engine start-up and the maximum ambient temperature

during engine operation determine the proper SAE viscosity grade of oil.

Refer to the Engine Oil Viscosity Table below (Lowest Ambient Temperature) in order to determine the

required oil viscosity for starting an engine in cold conditions.

Refer to the Engine Oil Viscosity Table below in order to select the oil viscosity for engine operation at the

Ambient Temperature Range

Above 25 C (77° F)

-10°C to 25°C (14° to 77° F)

Below -10° C (14°F)
