Oil Viscosity - Club Car Precedent 2014 Maintenance And Service Manual

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
13. Remove the dipstick and add engine oil into the dipstick port. With filter change, the engine requires 38 ounces
(1.12 L) of oil per change. Refer to oil viscosity guidelines for selection of oil grade (Figure 10-7). See following
Caution.
CAUTION
• Do not exceed recommended oil capacity. Doing so will decrease engine performance or result in
damage to the engine.
14. Replace the dipstick
15. Connect battery and spark plug wire(s). See Connecting the Battery – Gasoline Vehicles on page 1-4.
16. With the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, run engine for 3 minutes and check for leaks.
Observe both the drain plug and the oil filter from under the vehicle and watch for oil leaks. If filter leaks, tighten
additional 1/4 turn and retest, if oil drain plug leaks, re-torque and retest.
17. Remove the dip stick and check the engine oil as a final step. Replace the dip stick.

OIL VISCOSITY

Choose the viscosity according to the temperature as indicated by the oil viscosity chart (Figure 10-7). See following
NOTE.
NOTE: Using multi-grade oils (5W-20, 10W-30, and 10W-40) will increase oil consumption. Check oil level more
frequently when using them.
Below 40 °F (4 °C), the use of SAE 30 may result in hard starting.
Above 80 °F (27 °C), the use of 10W-30 may cause increased oil consumption. Check oil level more frequently.
