8628265 420CC OHV GAS ENGINE WITH ELECTRIC START V 1.0
High-quality detergent engine oils are acceptable if the (API)
performance rating is SJ or higher. Always check the API service
label on the oil container for the performance rating.
1. Check the oil level before each use with a cool engine that is level.
2. Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the
requirements for API (American Petroleum Institute) service
classification SJ. Always check the API Service label on the oil
container to be sure it includes the letters SJ or SL.
3. Do not use special additives.
4. SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general, all-temperature
use. Other viscosities shown on the chart may be used when
the average temperature in
your area is within the
indicated range (Fig. 3).
5. Above 27 °C (80 °F), using
10W-30 oil may increase oil
consumption. Check the oil
level more often.
6. Below 4 °C (40 °F), using
SAE 30 oil will cause hard
starting.
HOW TO CHECK OIL
1. Level the engine or the equipment the engine is mounted on.
2. Clean the oil fill area of any dirt and debris to prevent
contamination that can damage the engine.
3. The engine has a dipstick that is either part of the oil fill plug
(L) or a separate component (see Parts Identification).
3.1 Remove the dipstick (L) and wipe with a clean cloth.
3.2 Reinsert the dipstick into the filler neck until it rests on
the opening’s rim. Do not screw the oil fill plug back into
the opening (Fig. 4).
