Engine Oil
NOTE: Change the engine oil when the engine is warm. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for the correct replacement oil and filter change recommendations.
WARNING! The engine drain plug is located close to the muffler. To prevent burns, the engine should be shut off and allowed to cool slightly so the engine is still warm but the surrounding surfaces and oil are not.
