Temperature Range of Expected Use
* Below 50°F (10°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.
** Above 80°F (27°C) the use of 10W30 may cause increased oil consumption.
Check oil levelmore frequently.
NOTE:
Synthetic oil meeting &SAC GF-2,API certificationmark
and API servicesymbolwith "SJ/CF ENERGYCONSERVING"
or higher, is an acceptable oil at all temperatures.Use of
syntheticoil doesnotalter requiredoil changeintervals.
NOTE:
Theengine is equipped withan "Oil Alert System". This
systemwill automatically stopthe engine before the oil level
fails below a safe limit.Toavoidtheinconvenienceof an
unexpected shutdown,always checkthe engine oil levelbefore
startup.
