SERVICING YOUR LAWN MOWER
Engine Oil Level Check
1. Unscrew and remove the filler
cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
2. Insert and remove the dipstick
without screwing it into the
filler neck. Check the oil level
shown on the dipstick.
3. If the oil level is low, add oil to
reach the upper limit mark on
the dipstick. Do not overfill. If
the engine is overfilled, the
excess oil may get transferred
to the air cleaner housing and
air cleaner filters.
NOTICE
Running the engine with a low
oil level can cause engine
damage.
4. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick
securely.
Engine Oil Recommendations
Oil is a major factor affecting
performance and service life. Use
4-stroke automotive detergent oil.
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
recommended range.
The SAE oil viscosity and service classification are in the API label on
the oil container. Honda recommends that you use API SERVICE
category SH or SJ oil with the ILSAC "starburst" certification mark
displayed on the container.
