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.

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

up to 4°C (40°F).

**Synthetic oils will provide better starting in extreme cold below

23°C (-10°F).

Figure 2. Viscosity Grades Table.

NOTE: Using other than service class SG, SH, 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.
