Engine Oil – Gasoline Vehicles
2005 Husqvarna 4210-G, 4210-E, 4210-GXP, and 4210-EXP Owner’s Manual Page 43
10. Use a clean rag and wipe the oil filter mounting bracket surface clean where the oil filter gasket seats.
11. Install a new oil filter (Husqvarna 603 00 00-06) onto the engine oil filter port. Apply a light coat of white
lithium NLGI Number 2 grease (Dow Corning
®
BR2-Plus or equivalent) or new engine oil to the rubber
seal around the outside surface of the filter before attaching it to the oil filter port (Figure 30). This will
help seal the filter to the oil mounting bracket.
NOTE: Use only Husqvarna oil filters (603 00 00-06) designed for this engine.
12. Tighten the oil filter by hand until tight. Do not use a band wrench or channel lock plier to tighten.
13. Remove the dipstick and add engine oil into the dipstick port. Use a funnel or pour spout to direct the oil
into the dipstick port. With filter change, the engine requires 38 ounces (1.12 liters) of oil per change.
Refer to oil viscosity guidelines for selection of oil grade (Figure 31). Replace the dipstick.
14. Connect the battery cables, positive (+) cable first, and tighten terminals to 12 ft-lb (16 N·m). Coat ter-
minals with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (Husqvarna 603 00 00-03).
15. Lower the cargo bed. See WARNING “For vehicles with cargo beds...” on page 10.
16. With the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, start and run the engine for a few minutes.
Observe both the drain plug and the oil filter from under the vehicle and watch for oil leaks. If leaks
appear, begin with step 1 and repeat the appropriate step for either or both items to correct the problem.
17. Remove the dip stick and check the engine oil as a final step. Replace the dip stick.
OIL VISCOSITY
Choose the viscosity according to the temperature as indicated by the oil viscosity chart (Figure 31). See fol-
lowing NOTE.
NOTE: Using multi-grade oils (5W-20, 10W-30, and 10W-40) will increase oil consumption. Check oil level
more frequently when using them.
