SG, SH rated SAE 30 weight. Use no special addi-
tives, Select the oiFs viscosity grade according to
you expected operating temperatures.
SAE Vi.'_eesity Grades
Air cooled engines run hotter than automotive engines.
The use of multi-viscosity oil such as (10W-30, etc.) in
ambient temperatures above 40°F (4°C) will result in
higher than normai oil consumption. If multFviscosity
o]i is used, check the oi_ level more frequentIy to
prevent any posssible engine damage due to lack or
lubrication.
Use of SAE30 oil below 40°F (4°C) will result in hard
starting and possible engine damage dL_e to inad-
equate _ubrication.
