Servicing the Engine Oil

Checking the Engine-Oil Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase;
however, check the oil level before and after you start
the engine for the first time.
The crankcase capacity is approximately 2.8 L (4 US
qt) with the filter.
Use high-quality engine oil that meets the following
specifications:
•
API Classification Level Required: CH-4, CI-4,
or higher.
•
Preferred oil: SAE 15W-40 above -17º C (0º F)
•
Alternate oil: SAE 10W-30 or 5W-30 (all
temperatures)
Note:
Toro Premium Engine Oil is available from your
distributor in either 15W-40 or 10W-30 viscosity. See
the parts catalog for part numbers. Also, refer to the
engine owner's manual (included with the machine)
for further recommendations.
Note:
The best time to check the engine oil is when
the engine is cool before it has been started for the
day. If you have already run the engine, allow the oil
to drain back down to the sump for at least 10 minutes
before checking. If the oil level is at or below the A
mark on the dipstick, add oil to bring the oil level to the
F mark. Do not overfill. If the oil level is between
ULL
the F and A marks, you do not need to add oil.
