3.5.1 Oil Specifications
Use oil that meets the American Petroleum Institute
(API) classification of CD or CF. Using an unsuitable oil
or neglecting an oil change may result in damage and a
shorter engine life. Figure 3-1 shows the recommended
Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) viscosity
designation for given operating temperature ranges.
Note: Failure to observe the oil specifications m ay
cause inadequate lubrication/oil pressure and
cold-starting difficulties.

3.5.2 Oil Check
Check the oil level in the crankcase daily or before each
startup to ensure that the level is in the safe range. To
check the oil level, remove the dipstick and wipe the end
clean, reinsert as far as possible, and remove. Maintain
the oil level between the Min and Max marks on the
dipstick, as shown in Figure 3-3. See Section 1 for
dipstick location.
