CAUTION: The use of non-synthetic multi-
viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.) in
temperatures above 40°F (4°C) will result in
higher than normal oil consumption. When using
a multi-viscosity oil, check oil level more
frequently. SAE 30 oil, if used below 40°F (4°C),
will result in hard starting and possible engine
bore damage due to inadequate lubrication.
NOTE: The use of synthetic oils does not alter
the oil change intervals.
Changing Oil
Change oil and filter (if equipped) after the first 5-
8 hours. Thereafter, change oil every 100 hours
of operation.
Change oil more often if engine is operated in
dirty or dusty conditions or if engine is operated
under heavy loads and/or in high ambient air
temperatures.
