with API service classification SF-SJ.
Select the oil's SAE viscosity grade
according to your expected temperature.
NOTE:
Although
multi-viscosity
oils (5W-
30, 10W-30, etc.) improve starting in cold
weather, these multi-viscosity oils will
result in increased oil consumption when
used above 32°F (0°C).

to avoid
possible engine damage from running
low on oil.
Change the oil after every 50 hours of
operation or at least once a year if the

level.
