AMBIENT TEMPERATURE

SAE 1 OW-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.

Changing the Oil

Change the oil at the recommended interval or more

frequently under extreme operating conditions.

Drain the oil while the engine is warm to assure rapid and

complete draining.

1. Install one end of a section of ‘/z“ hose over the drain outlet

and place the other end in a suitable container to catch the

used oil.

2. Clean the area around the oil filler cap and remove it.

3. Turn the drain valve

counterclockwise about 4

turns to open it. Do not

open the valve more than 6

turns to avoid damaging the

seals.

4. When the oil has drained,

turn the valve clockwise to

close it and remove the

section of hose. To avoid

damaging the valve, do not

over tighten it.
