get transferred to the air cleaner housing and air cleaner.

Engine Oil Recommendations

Oil is a major factor affecting
performance and service life.
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or
exceeds the requirements for API
service classification SG or higher (or
equivalent). Always check the API
service label on the oil container to be
sure it includes the letters SG or higher
(or equivalent).
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for
general use in Australia.
Please contact your local Honda Power
Equipment Dealer for Genuine Oils.
