LUBRICATION
Only use high quality detergent oil rated with API service
classification SF orSG. Select the oil's SAE viscosity grade
according to your expected operating temperature.
NOTE:
Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils
will result in increased oil consumption when used above
32°F. Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid
_ossible engine damage from running low on oil.
