Servicing the Engine Oil and
Filter
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; however,
check the oil level before and after you first start the engine.
The crankcase capacity is 11.0 L (11.6 US qt) with the filter.
Use only high-quality SAE 15W-40 heavy-duty engine oil with
an API classification of CH-4 or higher.
While SAE 15W-40 oil with an API classification of CH-4 or
higher is recommended for most climates, refer to Figure 40
for oil viscosity recommendations for extreme climates.

Note: Limited use of low-viscosity oils such as SAE 10W-30
with an API classification of CH-4 or higher can be used for
easier starting and providing sufficient oil flow at ambient
temperatures below -5°C (23°F). However, continuous use of
low viscosity oil can decrease engine life because of wear.
Toro Premium Engine Oil is available from an Authorized
Toro Service Dealer in either 15W-40 or 10W-30 viscosity
with API classification CH-4 or higher. See the Parts Catalog
