ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Engine Oil Level Check

1. Remove the dipstick and wipe

it clean.

2. Insert and remove the dipstick

without screwing it into the
filler neck
. Check the oil level
shown on the dipstick.

3. If the oil level is low, add oil to

bring the level between the
upper and lower limit marks on
the dipstick as shown. Do not
overfill.
If the engine is
overfilled, the excess oil may
transfer to the air cleaner
housing and filter.

NOTICE

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

4. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely.

Engine Oil Recommendations

Oil is a major factor affecting
performance and service life. Use
4-stroke automotive detergent oil.

SAE 10W-30 is recommended for
general use. Other viscosities shown
in the chart may be used when the
average temperature in your area is
within the recommended range.
