Engine-Oil Specifications
The engine ships with oil in the crankcase; however,
check the oil level before and after you first start the
engine.
Crankcase capacity: 6.6 L (7 US qt) with the filter
Preferred engine oil: Toro Premium Engine Oil
If using an alternate oil, use high-quality, low-ash
engine oil that meets or exceeds the following
specifications:
•
API service category CJ-4 or higher
•
ACEA service category E6
•
JASO service category DH-2
Important:
Using engine oil other than API
classification CJ-4 or higher, ACEA E6, or JASO
DH-2 may cause the diesel particulate filter to plug
or cause engine damage.
Use the following engine oil viscosity grade:
•
SAE 10W-30 or 5W-30 (all temperatures)
•
SAE 15W-40 (above 0° F)
Note:
Toro Premium Engine oil is available from your
Authorized Service Dealer.
Checking the Engine-Oil Level
1. Park the machine on a level surface, engage the
parking brake, and lower the loader arms.
2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and allow
the engine to cool.
3. Open the hood.

Do not overfill the crankcase
with oil; if the oil in the crankcase is too high
and you run the engine, you may damage the
engine.
