Removing and Replacing the Engine Oil
Tools and Supplies Needed:
• Rags
• 12mm Wrench
• Small Funnel
• Approved Container (for Waste Oil)
• Engine Oil (see your Engine Manual for Oil specifications)
SAE 30 Oil - 37 oz. (1.09 L): above 50 degrees F; 10w-30:
30-90 degrees F; 5w-30: 30 degrees F or below
Note: Drain the Oil when the engine is warm. Warm Oil drains quicker and more
completely.
1. Position an Approved Container under the Engine Oil Drain Slot (Figure 18)
2. Remove the Engine Oil Check/Fill Cap (Figure 19).
Note: There is an Oil Drain Baffle installed Under the Oil Drain Slot that will divert
the Oil to the left side of the Frame when draining.
3. Remove the Oil Drain Plug using a 12mm Wrench. Allow the used Oil to
drain completely and then replace the Oil Drain Plug.
4. Initially add 1/2 of the SAE 30 High Detergent Oil recommended by the
Engine Manufacturer and wait one minute for the Oil to settle.
5. Screw the Dipstick in and then remove it to check the Oil level (clean the
Dipstick with a rag after checking) and continue adding a few ounces of oil
at a time, rechecking the Dipstick until the Oil reaches the FULL mark. Be
careful not to overfill.
6. Replace the Dipstick and screw all the way in when full.
Note: Be sure to use environmentally safe procedures when disposing of the used Oil.
