SAE VISCOSITY GRADES
Check the oil level BEFORE EACH
USE with the generator on a level
surface and the engine stopped.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general, all-temperature use. Other
viscosities shown in the chart may be used when the average
temperature in your area is within the indicated range.
Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service
life. Non-detergent and 2-stroke engine oils will damage the engine
and are not recommended.
Loosen the cover screw and remove the left-side maintenance cover.
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets
or exceeds the requirements for
API service classification SJ. Al-
ways check the API SERVICE label
on the oil container to be sure it in-
cludes the letters SJ or higher.
