add oil if necessary.
Use automotive detergent oil with an API service classification
of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher. Refer to your engine owner's
manual.
Use Figure 12 below to select the best oil viscosity for the
outdoor temperature range expected:

oil fill tube to raise the oil level to the Full mark on
the dipstick. Do not overfill (Figure 13). Refer to
Checking the Engine Oil Level in Maintenance.
2. Using 10W-30 at outdoor
temperatures above
80°F (27°C) may result in
increased oil consumption;
therefore, check the oil
level more frequently in
these circumstances.
Engine Oil Capacity
18 to 20 oz. (0.53 to 0.59 l)
2. Install the dipstick securely.
