Engine Oil
NOTE: An oil drip guard (1) can be used to prevent excess oil from dripping onto the engine base plate (Figure 18).
Use an empty quart (one liter) container and cut the bottom off at an angle, then slide the open area of the
container up and under the oil lter (2) before removal. Position the port of the plastic container so oil will be
directed into the oil pan (3). A drip guard can be made by folding a piece of cardboard, thin metal, or plastic
under the oil lter, forming a channel to direct the lter port oil into the drain pan.
Dispose of used oil according to the environmental laws and regulations for your area.

engine requires 3 qt. (2.8 L) of oil for diesel vehicles. Refer to oil viscosity guidelines for selection of oil grade
(Figure 21). See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Do not exceed recommended oil capacity. Doing so will decrease engine performance or result in
damage to the engine.

3. 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 lter from under the vehicle and watch for oil leaks. If a leak is detected, check
the tightness of the oil lter and drain plug. Tighten, repair, and/or replace components as necessary. See
following NOTE.
