Engine Oil

Changing the Engine Oil

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Used engine oil is a health hazard and must

not be disposed of on the ground or in nature;

it should always be disposed of at a workshop

or appropriate disposal location.
Avoid skin contact; wash with soap and water

in case of spills.

Change oil after every 100 hours of operation (more

frequently under severe conditions). Refill with service

class SG, SH, SJ or higher oil as specified in the

Viscosity Grades table.
Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil

will flow more freely and carry away more impurities.

Make sure the engine is level when filling, checking or

changing the oil.
Change the oil as follows:

1. To keep dirt, debris, etc., out of the engine,

•

clean the area around the oil fill cap/dipstick

before removing it.
2. Remove the oil drain plug and the oil fill

•

cap/dipstick. Be sure to allow ample time for

complete drainage.
3. Reinstall the drain plug. Make sure it is

•

tightened to 10 ft. lb. (13.6 Nm) torque.
4. Fill the crankcase, with new oil of the proper

•

type, to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick. Refer

to the section on Oil Type. Always check the

level with the dipstick before adding more oil.
5. Reinstall the oil fill cap/dipstick and tighten

•

securely.
6. Start the engine. Run it for a few seconds

•

and recheck the oil level.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
To prevent extensive engine wear or damage,

always maintain the proper oil level in the

crankcase. Never operate the engine with the

oil level below the “ADD” mark or over the

“FULL” mark on the dipstick.

WARNING!
Engine oil can be very hot if it is

drained directly after stopping the

engine. Allow the engine to cool to a

safe temperature first.
