SAE Vi.'_eesity Grades

Air cooled engines run hotter than automotive engines.

The use of multi-viscosity oil such as (10W-30, etc.) in ambient temperatures above 40°F (4°C) will result in

higher than normai oil consumption. If multFviscosity o]i is used, check the oi_ level more frequentIy to

prevent any posssible engine damage due to lack or lubrication.

Use of SAE30 oil below 40°F (4°C) will result in hard starting and possible engine damage dL_e to inad- equate _ubrication.
