towel.

4. Insert the dip stick back into the engine. Thread the

cap back onto the tube (D).

and allow it to cool from hot to warm.

1. Clean the area around the dip stick (C, Figure 25)

and oil drain tube (A).

2. Remove the oil drain plug (A) from the end of the oil

‘CAUTION:

Air cooled engines run hotter than automotive engines.

The use of non-synthefic multi-viscosity oils (5W-30,10W-30, etc.)

in temperatures above 40° F (4°C) will result in higher than normal

oil consumption. When using a multi-viscosity oil, check oil level

more frequently.

“CAUTION:

SAE 30 oil, if used below 40° F (4°C), will result in hard

starting and possible engine bore damage due to inadequate

lubrication.
