NOTE:
Although
multi-viscosity
oils (5W-
30, 10W-30,
etc.)
improve
starting
in cold
weather,
these multi-viscosity
oils will result in
increased
oil consumption
when used above
32°F (0°C). Check your engine
oil level more
frequently
to avoid
possible
engine
damage
from
running
low on oil.
Change
the oil after every 50 hours

eration

not used for 50 hours
in one year.
