Checking the Crankcase Oil
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; however,
the oil level must be checked before and after the engine is
first started.
Crankcase capacity is approximately 3.25 qt. (3.1 l) with
the filter.
Use high-quality engine oil that meets the following
specifications:
API Classification Level Required: CH–4, CI–4 or
higher.
Preferred oil: SAE 15W–40 (above 0_F)
Alternate oil: SAE 10W–30 or 5W–30
(all temperatures)
Toro Premium Engine oil is available from your distributor
in either 15W–40 or 10W–30 viscosity. See the parts
catalog for part numbers.
1. Park machine on a level surface, stop engine and
remove key from ignition switch. Open hood and install
hood prop.
2. Remove dipstick (Fig. 21), wipe clean and reinstall
dipstick. Remove dipstick and check oil level. Oil level
should be up to FULL mark on dipstick
