ENGINE OIL

Only use high quality detergent oil rated with API ser- vice classification SG. Select the oil'sviscosity grade according to your expected operating temperature.

Colder -=32°F_ Warmer

5W30 SAE 30

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (SE30, 10W30, etc.) improve starting in cold weather, these multi- vis- cosity oils will result in increased oil consumption when used above 32°F. Check your oil level more fre- quently to avoid possible engine damage from run- ning low on oil.

Your four-cycleengine will normally consume some oil--therefore, check engine oil level regularly approx- imately every five hours of operation and before each usage. Stop engine and wait several minutes before checking oil level. With engine level, the oil must be to FULL mark on dipstick (refer to figure 10). Change engine oil after the first five hours of operation, and every twenty-five hours thereafter.
