ENGINE  OIL
designed  for  heavy  duty  service  in  gasoline  engines,
and  is  formulated  to  minimize  metallic  deposits,
lengthen  spark  plug  and  valve  life.  I H  Low  Ash  Oil
used  with  unleaded  gasoline  is the  ideal  combina-
tion  to  maintain  performance  and  extend  engine
life.
The  engine  crankcase  is  filled  with  ship-away  oil.
This  oil  may  be  used  for  the  first  30  hours  of
engine  operation  at  temperatures  between  +90
degrees  F.  and  0  degrees  F.  I f temperatures  are  not
within  this  range,  drain  the  oil  from  the  crankcase
and  replace  with  new  oil  as  specified  in  the
"lubrication  Table".  The  engine  oil  must  be
drained  and  replaced  with  new  oil  every  30  hours
of  engine  operation.
I f  other  than  I H  Low  Ash  Engine  Oil  is  used  it
must  meet  API  Service  Classification  SE.  For
maximum  engine  life  select  API  SE  oils  with  lowest
levels  of  barium,  calcium,  or  magnesium  additives
and  minimum  ash  content  (approximately  0.5%).
Lubricant  suppliers  will  normally  furnish  this
information  on  their  engine  oils.
To  aid  starting,  the  selection  of  crankcase  lubri-
cating  oils  should  be  based  on  the  lowest  antici-
pated  temperatures  until  the  next drain  period.  See
page 31.
Multi-viscosity  numbered  oils  such as SAE  10W-30
or  SAE  10-40  must  not  be used above 32  degrees
Farenheit.
We  recommend  IH  Low  Ash  Engine  Oil  for
gasoline  engines.  I H  Low  Ash  Engine  Oil  exceeds
API  Service  Classification  SE.  It  is  specifically
