ENGINE LUBRICATION
Engine Oil Selection
Astec Engine Oil is recommended for use in your engine.
Astec Engine Oil will lubricate your engine correctly under
all operating conditions
Use a SAE 30W Single Grade Engine Oil when operating in
temperatures over 5°C (40°F). If Astec Multi-Viscosity is
not available, for cold weather operation, Astec Single
Grade Engine Oil can be used. If Astec engine oil is not
available, use only oil meeting API engine oil service
category SF or SG.
IMPORTANT:
Air cooled engines run hotter. The use of
non-synthetic multi-viscosity oils in temperatures above
5°C (40°F) will result in higher than normal oil
consumption. When using a multi-viscosity oil, check oil
level more frequently.
NOTE:
DO NOT put Performance Additives or other oil
additive products in the engine crankcase. The oil change
intervals given in this manual are according to tests with
Astec lubricants.
