The engine uses any highĆquality detergent oil
having the American Petroleum Institute ĆAPIĆ service
classification" SF, SG or SH. Oil viscosity (weight) is
selected according to the anticipated ambient
temperature.
Temperature / viscosity recommendations are:
Above 0F (-20C) - Use 10W-30 or
10W-40.
Below 32F (0C) - Use 5W-20 or 5W-30.
Pour oil into fill opening until the oil level is up to the
FULL" mark on the dipstick. Add the oil slowly and
check the level often during this process. DO NOT
