ACEA E1/E2/E3. Always check the API service label
on the oil container to be sure it includes the letters
indicated. (Note: An S-grade oil must not be used in a
diesel engine or damage may result. It IS permissible
to use an oil that meets S and C grade service classi-
fications.)
SAE 10W30 is recommended for general, all tempera-
ture use, 5F to 104F (-15C to 40C).

minimize moisture condensation in the tank. Running
out of fuel tends to draw dirt into the fuel system.
Also, check the crankcase oil level and add oil if
indicated.
