To make the task of adding oil more convenient, we
recommend use of a funnel attached to a length of tubing
long enough to reach from the Coolant Fill door to the oil fill
opening on the engine valve cover.
To fill your engine with oil:
Follow the oil grade recommendation, oil fill, and oil filter
service instructions given in the engine operator’s manual.
With the engine cold, check the coolant level in the coolant
recovery bottle (see
Controls
). Maintenance instructions for
engine coolant are found in the engine operator’s manual.
