Viscosity: See the table below.
Note:
Use of synthetic oil having 5W-20 or 5W-30
rating is acceptable, up to 4 degrees C (40 degrees F).
Note:
Synthetic oils will provide better starting in
extreme cold below -23 degrees C (-10 degrees F).

Check the oil when the engine is cold.

Contact with hot surfaces may cause personal
injury.
Keep your hands, feet, face, clothing and
other body parts away from the muffler and
other hot surfaces.

Do not overfill the crankcase with oil
because damage to the engine may result. Do not
run engine with oil below the low mark because
the engine may be damaged.
