Oil recommendations
The engine oil is a crucial factor for the perfor-
mance and service life of the engine. Use an en-
gine oil that satisfies the demands for API service
class SF or higher (or equivalent).
Check the API service label on the oil canister to
ensure that it contains the letters SF or those of a
higher class (or equivalent).
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use.
The recommended operating temperature range
for this engine is 0°C to 40°C.
Oil level check (3)
Check the engine oil level when the engine is
stopped and is standing horizontally.
Clean the oil filling areas of foreign bodies.
1. Unscrew the oil dipstick (A), and wipe it clean.
2. Guide the oil dipstick (A) into the oil filling
nozzle until it makes contact (do not twist
tight), and remove again.
3. If the oil level is around or below the lower limit
mark on the dipstick (C), top up with oil to the
upper limit mark.
4. Screw the oil dipstick back in.
ADVICE
A low engine oil level can lead to engine
damage.
