5. If the level is low, remove the cap from the valve

cover and add oil of the proper type, up to the F

mark on the dipstick. (Refer to Oil Type on page

4.) Always check the level with the dipstick

before adding more oil.

NOTE: 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 L mark or over the F mark

on the dipstick.

Oil Sentry

™

Most engines are equipped with an Oil Sentry

™

oil

pressure switch. On pressure switch equipped

models, if the oil pressure decreases below an

acceptable level, the Oil Sentry

™

will either shut off

the engine or activate a warning signal, depending on

the application. See Figure 11.

Figure 11. Oil Sentry

™

Pressure Switch.

NOTE: Make sure the oil level is checked BEFORE

EACH USE and is maintained up to the F

mark on the dipstick. This includes engines

equipped with Oil Sentry

™

systems.

Change Oil and Filter, Service Oil Cooler

Change Oil

Change oil seasonally or every 150 hours of operation,

(more frequently under severe conditions). Refill with

service class SJ or higher oil as specified in the

Viscosity Grades table (Figure 2) on page 4.

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, and changing the oil.

Change the oil as follows (see Figures 12 and 13):

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

the area around the oil fill cap, dipstick and one of

the drain plugs.

2. Remove one of the oil drain plugs, oil fill cap, and

dipstick. Be sure to allow ample time for complete

drainage.

3. Reinstall the drain plug. Make sure it is tightened

to 21.4 N·m (15.7 ft. lb.) torque.

4. Fill the crankcase, with new oil of the proper

type, to the F mark on the dipstick. Refer to Oil

Type on page 4. Always check the level with the

dipstick before adding more oil.

5. Reinstall the oil fill cap and tighten securely.

Reinstall dipstick.
