Recommended Oil - Dolmar MG5300.4 Manual De Instrucciones

Replacing engine oil
CAUTION:
The engine main unit and engine
oil still remain hot just after the engine is stopped.
When replacing engine oil, make sure that the engine
main unit and engine oil are sufficiently cooled down.
Otherwise, there may remain a risk of scald. Allow sufficient
time after stopping engine for the engine oil to return to the
oil tank to ensure accurate reading of the oil amount.
CAUTION:
If the oil filled above the limit,
it may become dirty or may catch fire with white
smoke.
NOTICE:
Never discard replaced engine oil
in garbage, ground or sewage. Disposal of oil is
regulated by law. In disposal, always follow the rele-
vant laws and regulations. For any points remaining
unknown, contact Authorized Service Agent.
NOTICE:
Oil will deteriorate even when it is
kept unused. Perform inspection and replacement
at regular intervals (replace with new oil every 6
months).
Deteriorated engine oil shortens the life of the sliding
and rotating parts to a great extent. Be sure to check
the period and quantity of replacement.
Interval of replacement
After first 20 operating hours, followed by every 50
operating hours
