Fluid Recommendations
Fuel Recommendations
Fuel Capacity=6 gallons (3 gallons per side)
Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). High altitude use, see engine manual.
• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is
acceptable.
CAUTION: Do not use unapproved gasolines, such as E85. Do not mix oil in gasoline or modify the
engine to run on alternate fuels. This will damage the engine components and void the engine war-
ranty.
Engine Oil Recommendations
Engine Oil Capacity=2 quarts
We recommend the use of SAE30 or a 5W-30 Synthetic Racing Oil for best performance. Other high-
quality detergent oils are acceptable if classifi ed for service SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use
special additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for the engine. Use the chart to select the
best viscosity for the outdoor temperature range expected.

* Below 40 F (4 C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.
** Above 80 F (27 C) the use of 10W-30 may cause increased oil consumption.
Check oil level more frequently.
Transaxle Oil Recommendations
Transaxle Oil Capacity=5 quarts (2.5 quarts per side)
We recommend Lucas 20/50 Plus Motor Oil or high-grade 10W50, 15W40, 15W50, or 20W50 motor
oil of 89 SUS or better at 212 degrees fahrenheit.
DO NOT USE HYDRAULIC OIL, HYTRAN, OR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID.
