Oil Specifications
Use oil that displays the American Petroleum Institute
(API) "Starburst" certification mark for gasoline engines
on the container. Using unsuitable oil or neglecting an
oil change may result in engine damage that is not
covered by the engine warranty. Figure 3-1 shows the
recommended Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
viscosity designation for a given operating temperature.
Do not mix different oil brands. Incompatibility could
cause a breakdown of lubricating ingredients and
reduce engine protection.

Oil Check
Check the oil level in the crankcase daily or before each
startup to ensure that the level is in the safe range. Do
not check the oil level while operating the unit. Stop the
generator set and keep the generator set level to get an
accurate reading. To check the oil level, remove the
dipstick and wipe the end clean, reinsert and remove.
Maintain the oil level between the Full and Add marks on
the dipstick, as shown in Figure 3-2. See Section 1,
Service Views for the dipstick location.

Oil Additions
Adding some oil between oil changes is normal. The
amount varies with generator set usage. Open the oil fill
cap and pour in a small amount of oil using a funnel or
other suitable pouring device. See Section 1, Service
Views for the oil check and oil fill locations.
3.3.4
Oil Change
Change the oil according to the service schedule or
before generator set storage. Change the oil more
frequently if the generator set operates under dirty,
dusty conditions. Change the oil while the engine is still
warm. See Figure 3-3 for oil capacity. See Section 1,
Service Views for oil fill, oil check, and oil filter locations.
