Oil Recommendations
Using the proper type and weight of oil in the
crankcase is extremely important. So is checking oil
daily and changing oil regularly. Failure to use the
correct oil, or using dirty oil, causes premature engine
wear and failure.
Oil Type
Use high quality detergent oil of API (American
Petroleum Institute) service class SG, SH, SJ
or higher. Select the viscosity based on the air
temperature at the time of operation.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Using other than service class SG, SH,
SJ or higher oil or extending oil change
intervals longer than recommended can
cause engine damage.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Synthetic oils meeting the listed
classifi cations may be used with oil
changes performed at the recommended
intervals. However to allow piston rings
to properly seat, a new or rebuilt engine
should be operated for at least 50 hours
using standard petroleum based oil
before switching to synthetic oil.
A logo or symbol on oil containers identifi es the API
service class and SAE viscosity grade.
Temperature range expected before next oil change
* Use of synthetic oil having 5W-20 or 5W-30 rating is
acceptable, up to 40 o F (+4 o C).
** Synthetic oils will provide better starting in extreme
cold below -10 o F (-23 o C).
