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 as shown in the

following table.

A logo or symbol on oil containers identifies the API

service class and SAE viscosity grade. See Figure 3.

Refer to “Maintenance Instructions” beginning on

page 8 for detailed oil check, oil change, and oil

filter change procedures.

Fuel Recommendations

WARNING: Explosive Fuel!

Gasoline is extremely flammable and its vapors can

explode if ignited. Store gasoline only in approved

containers, in well ventilated, unoccupied buildings,

away from sparks or flames. Do not fill the fuel tank

while the engine is hot or running, since spilled fuel

could ignite if it comes in contact with hot parts or

sparks from ignition. Do not start the engine near

spilled fuel. Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent.

NOTE: Using other than service class SG, SH, SJ or

higher oil or extending oil change intervals

longer than recommended can cause engine

damage.

*Use of synthetic oil having 5W-20 or 5W-30 rating is

acceptable, up to 40°F.

**Synthetic oils will provide better starting in extreme

cold (below -10°F).
