Adding Engine Oil
It is normal to add some oil in the period of time between oil changes. The
amount will vary with the severity of operation. When adding or replacing engine
oil, be sure the oil meets or exceeds the recommended specification.
CHANGING OIL AND FILTER
NOTE: Use only Mobil 1 5W-30 full synthetic or equivalent motor oil.
When changing the oil and filter.
Under normal operating conditions, the engine oil and filter must be changed
every 100 hours or every 12 months whichever occurs first. Use of a premium
quality oil and filters is recommended.
The oil and filter should be changed more often if the engine is operating in
severe conditions, such as dirty areas, or during cold weather. No oil additives or
break-in oil are recommended.
Engine Oil Quality
NOTE: To achieve proper engine performance and durability, it is
important that you use only engine lubricating oils of the correct type in
your engine. Quality oil also provides maximum efficiency for crankcase
ventilation systems, which reduces pollution.
Engine Oil
Mobil 1 5W-30 full synthetic or equivalent synthetic motor oil must be used
