Oil Recommendation

  • SAE 30 40° F and higher (5° C and higher) is good for all purpose use above 40° F, use below 40° F will cause hard starting.

  • 10W-30 0 to 100° F (-18 to 38° C) is better for varying temperature conditions. This grade of oil improves cold weather starting, but may increase oil consumption at 80° F(27° C) or higher.

  • Synthetic 5W-30 -20 to 120° F (-30 to 40° C)provides the best protection at all temperatures as well as improved starting with less oil consumption.

  • 5W-30 40° F and below (5° C and below) is recommended for winter use, and works best in cold conditions.


Type of oil to use

  • Use a high quality detergent oil classified "For Service SF, SG, SH, SJ" or higher.

  • Do not use special additives.
