Engine Oil
The lawn mower is shipped
WITHOUT OIL in the engine. A
bottle of oil is included in the box
with your mower.
Add the entire contents of the oil
bottle into the oil filler opening. If the
supplied oil is not used, add enough
SAE 10W-30 API service category
SJ or later oil to bring the oil level
between the upper and lower limit
marks on the dipstick as shown.
Do not overfill engine oil. If the
engine is overfilled, the excess oil
may get transferred to the air
cleaner housing and air filter.
For additional engine oil
information, see page 30.
