*Air cooled engines run hotter than automotive engines. Use of non-synthetic multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W-30, etc.) above 40ο F (4ο C) will result in high oil consumption and possible engine damage. Check oil level more frequently if using these types of oils.

**SAE 30 oil, if used below 40ο F (4ο C), will result in hard starting and possible engine bore damage due to inadequate lubrication.
