Pre-Operation Check - Honda EW170 Owner's Manual

3. PRE-OPERATION CHECK
1. OIL LEVEL
CAUTION:
l
Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life.
Non-detergent or vegetable oils are not recommended.
l
Be sure to check the oil on a level surface with the engine stopped.
Use Honda 4-stroke oil, or an equiva-
lent high detergent, premium quality
motor oil certified to meet or exceed
U.S. automobile manufacturer's re-
quirements for Service Classification
SE or SF. (Motor oils classified SE or
SF will show this designation on the
container.)
SAE low-40 is recommended for
general all-temperature use. If single
viscosity oil is used, select the appro-
priate viscosity for the average tem-
perature in your area.
1. Remove the oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick clean.
2. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler neck, but do not screw it in.
3. If the level is low, fill to the top of the oil filler neck with the recommend-
ed oil.
