OIL & FUEL INFORMATION

RECOMMENDED OIL TYPE

It is extremely important to use the proper type and weight of oil in the crankcase. Check the oil before each use and change the oil regularly. The use of incorrect or dirty oil can cause premature engine wear and failure.

Use a high-quality SAE 30 weight oil of API (American Petroleum Institute) service class SF, SG, SH.
