oil rated with
API service classification
SG-SL.
Select the
oil's SAE viscosity
grade according
to your
expected
operating
temperature.
18
NOTE:
Although
multi-viscosity
oils (5W30,
t 0W30 etco) improve starting in cold weather,
they will result in increased
oil consumption
when used above 32°R
Check your engine
oil level more frequently
to avoid
possible
engine damage
from running low on oil
Change the oil after every 50 hours of opera-
tion or at least once a year if the tractor
is
not used for 50 hours in one year.
Check the crankcase
oil level before starting
the engine and after each eight (8) hours of
operation.
