Check Oil Level

The importance of checking and maintaining the

proper oil level in the crankcase cannot be

overemphasized. Check oil BEFORE EACH USE as

follows:

1. Make sure the engine is stopped, level, and is cool

so the oil has had time to drain into the sump.

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

the area around the dipstick before removing it.

3. Unthread and remove the dipstick; wipe oil off.

Reinsert the dipstick into the tube and rest the

cap on the tube. Do not thread the cap onto the

tube. See Figure 6.

Figure 6. Checking Oil Level.

4. Pull the dipstick out and check the oil level.

The oil level should be up to, but not over, the

"FULL" mark on the dipstick. See Figure 7.

Figure 7. Oil Level Dipstick.

5. If the level is low, add oil of the proper type, up to

the "FULL" mark on the dipstick. (Refer to "Oil

Type" on page 5.) Always check the level with the

dipstick before adding more oil.

Oil Sentry™

Some engines are equipped with an optional Oil

Sentry™ oil pressure switch. If the oil pressure drops

below an acceptable level, the Oil Sentry™ will either

shut off the engine or activate a warning signal,

depending on the application.

NOTE: Make sure the oil level is checked BEFORE

Change Oil and Filter, Service Oil Cooler

Change Oil

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 (Figure 3) on page 5.

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 (see Figure 8):

"Full" Mark

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

"ADD" mark or over the "FULL" mark on

the dipstick.

EACH USE and is maintained up to the

"FULL" mark on the dipstick. This includes

engines equipped with Oil Sentry™.

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

the area around the oil fill cap/dipstick before

removing it.

2. Remove one of the oil drain plugs 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 13.6 N·m (10 ft. lb.) torque.

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

type, to the "FULL" mark on the dipstick. Refer to

Oil Type on page 5. Always check the level with

the dipstick before adding more oil.
