OIL REQUIREMENTS:

Any high quality engine oil with an API classification of SG/CD is recommended.

RECOMMENDED OIL WEIGHT:

Normal operation temperatures - 20W50

Cold climate usage - 10W40

Another alternative that will provide excellent all-climate performance and extended time between oil changes is a 15W50 synthetic engine oil.

OIL FILTER:	P/N 7252 - IMPORTANT
	The oil filter is a special design for use on “vacuum
	or suction” oil flow systems.
DO NOT:
	Use automotive engine oil filters. These filters
	require a “pressure” to allow oil flow. Usage will
	result in an “air-lock” condition with possible
	damage.
