Certified oils for best performance. Other high-quality
detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service
SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher. DO NOT use special
additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil
viscosity for the engine. Use the chart to select the best
viscosity for the outdoor temperature range expected.

starting.
