Oil type and quantity
Use a 4-stroke, or an equivalent high detergent, pre-
mium quality motor oil certified to meet or exceed
American Petroleum Institute (A.P.I.) requirements for
service classification SG/SF. Motor oils classified SG/
SF will show this designation on the container.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general, all tempera-
ture use. If single viscosity oil is used, select the appro-
priate viscosity for the average temperature in your
area from the chart below. See Figure 5.1.
NOTE: A 5w30 synthetic oil may be used to
improve startability for cold weather (tempera-
tures below 40 degrees F) after the engine break
in period.
NOTE: The oil capacity for these engines is 18
oz (532 cc).

Oil dip stick
To check the oil level:
NOTE: Be sure to check the engine on a level
surface with the engine stopped.
1. Remove the oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick
clean.
2. Insert the dipstick into the engine block, but do
not screw it in. See Figure 5.2.
3. If the level is low, slowly add oil to the upper limit
on the dipstick.
