Engine Oil
Engine Oil: Use good quality heavy duty motor oil intended for diesel
engines (trucks or tractors). The engine holds about 5-6 quarts of oil.
Do I have to use different lubricating engine oils based on the outside
temperature? NO For warm weather conditions you can use a 30
weight oil or a 15w-40. For conditions below 32 degrees Fahrenheit use
a 15w-40.
Oil Filter: Use a Napa®# 1315 or a Jinma JX0707 oil
filter. These can be purchased at Rocky Mountain
Farm Pros or your local Napa®.
Oil Drain Plug: The plug to drain the engine oil is located
below and behind the engine oil filter on the left side of the
engine block
Oil Dip Stick: The engine does have a dip stick to
show when the engine is full of oil; however, it can
be hard to find and hard to reinsert. It is on the left,
rear side of the engine and adjacent to the top of the
side panel. The top of the dip stick is a yellow
loop. Its location is somewhat further forward than
the cooling system drain which has a triangular top.
Note: Some people remove the side panels and
leave them off for better maintenance access.
Reminder: Use engine oil labeled as
intended for diesel engines.
