Changing the oil

1.Before adding engine oil, place the unit on a level surface, then remove the dipstick to provide crankcase ventilation.

2.Use an engine oil fill device that is smaller than the oil fill hole, allowing air to pass along the sides of the oil fill hole.

3.Add engine oil slowly, at a rate that does not flood the valve cover.

4.When changing the engine oil, add the exact amount specified in the engine owner’s manual.

5.Allow enough time for the oil to drain into the oil pan. Confirm this by checking the oil level with the dip stick, repeatedly, until it stabilizes.

6.Check the oil level, accounting for the higher oil level due to the oil filter oil capacity.

7.If the oil level is low, oil may have entered Engine Breather Valve System and into the intake manifold and the cylinder(s). If so, the oil must be removed before cranking the engine.
