AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
SAE 1 OW-30 is recommended for general, all-temperature
use. Other viscosities shown in the chart may be used when
the average temperature in your area is within the indicated
range.
Changing the Oil
Change the oil at the recommended interval or more
frequently under extreme operating conditions.
Drain the oil while the engine is warm to assure rapid and
complete draining.
1. Install one end of a section of '/z" hose over the drain outlet
and place the other end in a suitable container to catch the
used oil.
2. Clean the area around the oil filler cap and remove it.
3. Turn the drain valve
counterclockwise about 4
turns to open it. Do not
open the valve more than 6
turns to avoid damaging the
seals.
4. When the oil has drained,
turn the valve clockwise to
close it and remove the
section of hose. To avoid
damaging the valve, do not
over tighten it.
