RECOMENDED OIL TYPE
Using the proper type and weight of oil in the crankcase
is extremely important. Check the oil before each use
and change the oil regularly. Failure to use the correct oil,
or using dirty oil, can cause premature engine wear and
failure. Use a high-quality SAE 10W-30 weight oil of API
(American Petroleum Institute) service class SF, SG, SH.
