ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Engine Oil Change
Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and
completely.
1. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position to reduce the possibility of fuel
leakage (see page 9).
2. Wipe the oil filler area clean, and then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick.
3. Place a suitable container next to the mower to catch the used oil, and
then tilt the mower on its right side. The used oil will drain through the
filler neck. Allow the oil to drain completely.
Please dispose of used motor oil and containers in a manner that is
compatible with the environment.
NOTE: Do not throw waste oil or containers in the trash or pour oil on the
ground or down a drain. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to
your local recycling centre or service station for reclamation.
4. Fill with the recommended oil. Do not overfill; measure the oil level as
shown on page 46.
Engine oil capacity: GXV160 = 0.65 Litre
GSV190 / GCV160 = 0.55 Litre
NOTICE
Using non-detergent oil can shorten the engine’s service life and using 2-stroke
engine oil will damage the engine.
