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. It is also

recommended that a consistent brand of oil be used.

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 SJ or higher. Select

the viscosity based on the air temperature at the time

of operation as shown in the following table.

Figure 2. Viscosity Grades Table.

NOTE: Using other than service class SJ or higher oil

or extending oil change intervals longer than

recommended can cause engine damage.

NOTE: 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. See Figure 3.

Refer to Maintenance Instructions beginning on page

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

procedures.
