Engine Oil - Husqvarna Rider Pro 15 Operator's Manual

8. Engine oil

Check the engine oil level when the Rider is on
level ground.
Release the rubber strap under the seat and raise
the engine hood.
Take out the dipstick, wipe it clean and push it in
again.
Do not screw in the dipstick.
Take out the dipstick again and read the oil level.
The oil level should be between the marks on the
dipstick. If the level is close to the "ADD" mark, top
up with oil to the "FULL" mark on the dipstick.
Never fill above the "FULL" mark.
Oil is added through the hole that the dipstick sits
in.
Use SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30 grade engine oil, or
10W/40, class SC–SH (above 0° C/+32°F).
SAE 40 oil can be used above +20°C/+68°F.
Use SAE 5W-20 engine oil, class SC–SH (below 0°
C/+32°F).
The engine holds 1.5 litres of oil, excluding the filter
(1.7 litres including filter).
Changing the engine oil
The engine oil must be changed after the first 8
hours of operation and every 100 hours thereafter.
WARNING!
Engine oil can be very hot if it is
drained off directly after the
engine is stopped. Therefore
allow the engine to cool down
first.
1. Open the engine hood.
2. Place a container under the drain plug on the
left side of the engine.
3. Take out the dipstick. Remove the drain plug
from the left side of the engine.
4. Let the oil drain out into the container.
5. Refit the drain plug and tighten it.
6. Fill with oil to the "FULL" mark on the dipstick.
Use the grade of oil specified above.
7. Run the engine until hot and check that there is
no leakage from the drain plug.
