SERVICING YOUR HONDA SNOWTHROWER

24

Engine Oil Change

Drain the oil while the engine is
still warm to assure rapid and
complete draining.

1. Place the snowthrower on a

level surface.

2. Place a suitable container

below the drain bolt to catch
the used oil, then remove the
oil filler cap/dipstick and the
drain plug.

3. Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the drain plug,

and tighten it securely.

NOTICE

Improper disposal of engine oil can be harmful to the environment.
If you change your own oil, please dispose of used motor oil
properly. Put it in a sealed container, and take it to a recycling
center. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground, or down a
drain.

4. With the engine in a level position, fill to the outer edge of the oil

filler hole with the recommended oil (page25).

OIL CAPACITY: 0.63 US quart (20.3 fl oz, 0.6 liter)

NOTICE

Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.

5. Screw in the oil filler cap/dipstick securely.
