Recommended Oil
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds
the requirements for API service classification
SE or later (or equivalent). Always check the
API service label on the oil container to be sure
it includes the letters SE or later (or equivalent).
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use.
Other viscosities shown in the chart may be
used when the average temperature in your
area is within the indicated range.
CAUTION:
Using nondetergent oil or 2-stroke engine oil could shorten the
engine’s service life.
1. Remove the oil filler cap and check the oil level: it should reach the top of
the oil filler neck.
2. If the level is low, fill to the top of the oil filler neck with the recommended oil.
Add the engine oil slowly to avoid overflowing, as the engine oil tank capacity
is small.
Every 10 hours, check the engine oil level and replenish oil up to the top of the
oil filler neck if the engine is operated for long time continuously.
CAUTION:
• Running the engine with insufficient oil can cause serious engine
damage.
• Be sure to check the engine on a level surface with the engine stopped.
