SAE 25W-40 viscosity oil may be used at temperatures above 40° F (4° C). Use Quicksilver 4-Cycle Marine Oil with the proper viscosity for the expected temperature in your area (see range thermometer on left). If not available, use a premium quality 4-cycle engine oil, cer- tified to meet or exceed anyone of the following American Petroleum Institute (API) service classifications SH, SG, SF, CF-4, CE, CD, CDll. IMPORTANT: Use resistive spark plugs only.
