Engine Oil

To ensure proper engine performance and long life, careful attention must be paid to engine oil.
Following these simple, but important steps will help protect your investment:
• Always use engine oil approved to the proper specification and of the proper viscosity grade. See “Selecting the Right Engine Oil” in this section.
• Check the engine oil level regularly and maintain the proper oil level. See “Checking Engine Oil” and “When to Add Engine Oil” in this section.
• Change the engine oil at the appropriate time. See Engine Oil Life System on page 10‑10.
• Always dispose of engine oil properly. See “What to Do with Used Oil” in this section.
