SERVICING YOUR ENGINE

ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS

Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life. Use
4-stroke automotive detergent oil that is designed for engines
operating on LPG.

For operation in temperatures below 32°F (0°C), 5W-30 synthetic oil
may be used for easier starting. Do not use 5W-30 synthetic oil when
the air temperature is above 32°F (0°C).

Do not use multigrade mineral-based oils. The use of multigrade
mineral-based oils may result in premature engine wear and/or
damage.

SAE 30 (API service classification SJ) is recommended for general use.
The following are examples of oils that meet Honda’s requirements for
LPG-fueled engines:

Pennzoil HD 30
Valvoline HPO 30
Castrol HD 30
