Engine Oil
The mower is shipped
WITHOUT OIL in the engine.
A bottle of oil is included in the
box with your mower. Add the
entire contents of the oil bottle
into the oil filler opening.
If not using the supplied oil, add
enough SAE 10W-30 API
service category SH or SJ oil to
bring the oil level between the
upper and lower limit marks on
the dipstick as shown.
Do not overfill engine with oil.
If the engine is overfilled, the
excess oil may get transferred to
the air cleaner housing and air
filter.
After filling the engine with oil,
remove the hang tag near the
recoil starter grip which says
“The engine has no oil. A
container of oil is in the shipping
box”.
