Conventional oil is recommended for at least the first 1500 miles you may use synthetic after that
point
SAE 10W30 is the factory recommended oil for temperatures ranging from 14º to 90ºF. Extreme
temperature use from 90º and up requires the use of 15W40 oil The responsibility of selecting oils
outside of this temperature range is on the end user. The key is to use only high quality oil designed
for use in motor vehicles and not substitute lesser quality oils or extreme weights. When changing
the oil make sure to let the old oil drain out completely first.
** CAUTION **
DO NOT run the engine with low oil this will cause severe engine damage!
