ENGINE MAINTENANCE Engine Oil Change
Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly
and completely.
1. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position to reduce the possibility of
fuel leakage (see page 28).
2. Wipe the oil filler area clean, then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick.
3. Place a suitable container next
to the mower to catch the used
oil, then tilt the mower on its
right side. The used oil will
drain through the filler neck.
Allow the oil to drain completely.
Please dispose of used motor
oil and the containers in a
manner that is compatible with
the environment. We suggest
you take it in a sealed container
to your local recycling center or
service station for reclamation.
Do not throw it in the trash or
pour it on the ground or down a
drain.
4. Fill with the recommended oil.
Do not overfill; measure the oil
level as shown on page 44.
Engine oil capacity:
0.63 US qt (0.6 P)
Using nondetergent oil can shorten the engine’s service life, and
using 2-stroke oil can damage the engine.
