No Parts Required
Procedure

the engine, but it does come with a bottle of oil. Before
starting the engine, fill the engine with oil.
Max. fill: 0.59 L (20 oz), type: SAE 30 detergent oil with an
API service classification of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher.

If the oil level is below the Add mark on the
dipstick, slowly pour a small amount of oil into
the oil-fill tube, wait 3 minutes, and repeat steps 3
through 5 until the oil level is at the Full mark on
the dipstick.
