Recommend of lubricating oil

Initial factory fill is high quality break-in oil for API Service CF. During the break-in period (50 hours),
frequently check the oil level. Somewhat higher oil consumption is normal until piston rings are seated.
The oil level should be maintained in the safe range between the Min. and Max. marks on the dipstick. The
safe range between the marks represents approximately 5 liters. To obtain the best engine performance
and engine life, K - OIL SUPER is recommended. Engine oils are specified by API Service, letter designations
and SAE viscosity numbers. If the specified motor oil is not available, use a reputable brand of engine oil
labeled for API Service CF and SAE viscosity 30 or 15W40. Refer to oil identification symbol on the
container. Engine oil should be changed at the specified intervals. (First 50 Hr & Every 500 Hours)
