Engine Oil Level Check

Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and with the engine in a level position.

1. Remove either side mounted  ller cap dipstick or high oil  ll dipstick and wipe it clean.

2. Insert and remove the dipstick without screwing it into the  ller neck. Check the oil level shown on the dipstick.

3. If the oil level is low,  ll to the edge of the oil  ller hole with the recommended oil.

4. Securely screw in the  ller cap/dipstick. Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.

Always check the engine oil before start up.

Engine Oil Change

Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and completely.

Avoid contact with hot oil.

1. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil then remove the

 ller cap/dipstick and the drain plug.

2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the drain plug, and tighten

it securely. Do not over tighten. Dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is

compatible with the environment. We suggest you take used oil in a sealed

container to your local recycling center or service station for reclamation. Do not

throw used oil in the trash, pour it on the ground, or pour down a drain.

3. With the engine in a level position,  ll to the outer edge of the oil  ller hole with the

recommended oil. (see  ll limits right)

• NOTICE

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

4. Securely screw in the  ller cap/dipstick.

Recommendations

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 warrants.

The SAE oil viscosity and service classi cation are in the API label on the oil

container. The manufacturer recommends you use API SERVICE category

SJ engine oil, or better.
