CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL

( Y ) "ADD" mark. ( X ) "FULL" mark.
1. Maintain the engine oil level between "ADD"
mark and "FULL" mark on oil level gauge.
Do not fill crankcase above "FULL" mark.
2. Remove the oil filler cap and add oil, if
necessary. Clean the oil filler cap. Install the oil
filler cap.
The refill capacities for the engine crankcase
Reflect the approximate capacity of the
crankcase or sump plus a standard oil filter.
Auxiliary oil filter systems will require
additional oil.
LUBRICATING OIL
SPECIFICATION
Use only good quality
lubricating oil, which meets
the following Specification
API Class
CF
Engine Oil

ENGINE OIL MAINTENANCE

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
(Minimum Temperature) in order to determine the
required oil viscosity for starting an engine in cold
conditions.
Refer to the Engine Oil Viscosity Table below
(Maximum Temperature) in order to select the oil
viscosity for engine operation at the highest ambient
temperature that is anticipated.
Above 25°C (77°F)
0 to 25°C (32° to 77°F)
Below 0°C (32°F)
