LUBRICATION
Use only high quality detergent oil rated
with API service classification SJ–SN.
Select the oil's SAE viscosity grade accord-
ing to your expected operating temperature.
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils
(5W30, 10W30 etc.) improve starting in
cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils will
result in increased oil consumption when
used above 32°F. Check your engine oil
level more frequently to avoid possible en-
gine damage from running low on oil.
