run
hotter than automotive
engines.
The
use of non-synthetic
multi-viscosity
oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.) in tempera-
tures above 40°F (4°C) will result in
higher than normal oil consumption.
When using a multi-viscosity
oil,
check oil level more frequently
to
avoid possible engine damage
from
running low on oil.
*CAUTION:
Synthetic
oil must be
used when operating
engine under
40°F (4°C) or engine damage
will oc-
cur.
**CAUTION:
SAE 30 oil, if used be-
low 50°F (10°C), will result in hard
