ENGINE OIL

Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life.
Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil that is designed for engines
operating on LPG or NATURAL GAS.

Recommended Oil

Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for API
service category SJ or later (or equivalent). Always check the API service
label on the oil container to be sure it includes the letters SJ or later (or
equivalent).
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Other viscosities shown in
the chart may be used when the average temperature in your area is within
the indicated range.

Oil Level Check

Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level position.
1. Start the engine and let it idle for 1 or 2 minutes. Stop the engine and
wait for 2 or 3 minutes.
2. Remove the oil level dipstick by pulling it. Wipe the oil level dipstick
clean.
3. Fully insert the oil level dipstick, then remove it to check the oil level.
4. If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark on the dipstick,
remove the oil filler cap, and fill with the recommended oil to the upper
limit mark. Do not overfill.
Refer to Recommended Oil.
5. Fully insert the oil level dipstick. Reinstall the oil filler cap securely.

level before startup.

Oil Change

Drain the used oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and
completely.
1. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil, and
then remove the oil filler cap, drain bolt, and sealing washer.
2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the drain bolt and
new sealing washer, and tighten the drain bolt securely.
TORQUE: 45 N·m (4.5 kgf·m, 33 lbf·ft)
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with
the environment. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed container to
your local recycling center or service station for reclamation. Do not
throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground, or pour it down a drain.
