SERVICING YOUR MOWER
30
The SAE oil viscosity and service classification are in the API label on
the oil container. Honda recommends that you use API SERVICE
category SJ or later oil.
Engine Oil Change
Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly
and completely.
1. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position to reduce the possibility of
fuel leakage (page 8).
2. Wipe the oil filler area clean, then
remove the oil filler cap/dipstick.
3. Place a suitable container next to
the mower to catch the used oil,
then tilt the mower on its right
side.The used oil will drain through
the filler neck. Allow the oil to drain
completely.
NOTICE
Improper disposal of engine oil can be harmful to the environment.
If you change your own oil, please dispose of the used oil properly.
Put it in a sealed container, and take it to a recycling center. Do not
discard it in a trash bin or dump it on the ground.
4. Fill with the recommended oil. Do
not overfill. Allow a couple of
minutes for the oil to settle in the
engine, then measure the oil level
as shown on page 29.
NOTICE
Using nondetergent oil can shorten the engine’s service life, and
using 2-stroke oil can damage the engine.
