EC000072*
CAUTION:_ 
In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives with
the oil or use oils of a “CD”
grade or higher. In addition, do
not use oils labeled “ENERGY
CONSERVING II” or higher.
Make sure that no foreign mate-
rial enters the crankcase.

13. Install the engine oil filler cap.
14. Start the engine, and then let it idle
for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
immediately turn the engine off
and check for the cause.
15. Turn the engine off, and then
check the oil level and correct it if
necessary. Recommended engine oil:
See page 8-1.

CAUTION:Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-friction
modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II”) contain anti-friction additives
which will cause clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, result-
ing in reduced component life and poor engine performance.
