Engine Oil Change - Honda GX120 Owner's Manual

ENGINE OIL CHANGE

Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly
and completely.
1. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil,
then remove the filler cap/dipstick and the drain plug.
2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the drain plug,
and tighten it securely.
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 down a drain.
3. With the engine in a level position, fill to the outer edge of the oil
filler hole with the recommended oil (see page 28).
Engine oil capacities
GX120 : 0.59 US qt (0.56 )
GX160 : 0.63 US qt (0.60 )
GX200 : 0.63 US qt (0.60 )
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
The Oil Alert system (applicable engine types) will automatically
stop the engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit.
However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown,
fill to the upper limit, and check the oil level regularly.
4. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely.
