Engine Oil

2. Change the engine oil after the first 50 hours of

operation and then every 250 hours thereafter.

3. Select the oil viscosity based on the ambient

temperature where the engine is being
operated. See the SAE Service Grade Viscosity
Chart (Figure 4-5).

4. Yanmar does not recommend the use of engine

oil “additives.”

Additional Technical Engine oil
Requirements:

The engine oil must be changed when the Total
Base Number (TBN) has been reduced to 1.0
(mgKOH/g) test method; JIS K-201-5.2-2 (HCI),
ASTM D4739 (HCI).

Engine Oil Viscosity

Select the appropriate engine oil viscosity based on
the ambient temperature and use the SAE Service
Grade Viscosity Chart in Figure 4-5.

Figure 4-5

Checking Engine Oil

2. Remove dipstick (Figure 4-6, (1)) and wipe with

clean cloth.

3. Fully reinsert dipstick.

between upper (Figure 4-6, (2)) and lower
(Figure 4-6, (3)) lines on the dipstick.

5. Fully reinsert dipstick.

Adding Engine Oil

1. Make sure engine is level.

2. Remove oil cap (Figure 4-6, (4)).

3. Add indicated amount of engine oil at the top or

side engine oil filler port (Figure 4-6, (5)).

4. Wait three minutes and check oil level.

5. Add more oil if necessary.

6. Replace oil cap (Figure 4-6, (4)) and

hand-tighten. Over-tightening may damage the
cap.
