Oil Recommendations
Using the proper type and weight of oil in the 
crankcase is extremely important. So is checking oil 
daily and changing oil regularly. Failure to use the 
correct oil, or using dirty oil, causes premature engine 
wear and failure.
Oil Type
Use high quality detergent oil of API (American 
Petroleum Institute) service class SG, SH, SJ 
or higher. Select the viscosity based on the air 
temperature at the time of operation.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Using other than service class SG, SH, SJ or 
higher oil or extending oil change intervals 
longer than recommended can cause engine 
damage.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Synthetic oils meeting the listed classifications 
may be used with oil changes performed 
at the recommended intervals. However to 
allow piston rings to properly seat, a new or 
rebuilt engine should be operated for at least 
50 hours using standard petroleum based oil 
before switching to synthetic oil.
A logo or symbol on oil containers identifies the API 
service class and SAE viscosity grade.
