Oil Change

Oil Change

And while we’re on the topic of oil levels, DO NOT overfill your engine with oil… the only thing worse than no oil is too much oil. Your engine is made to take a specific amount of oil and if you put too much in it then an excess of pressure builds within the crankcase and will blow oil seals out left and right. The best thing to do before refilling is to refer back to the engine manual to find the specifications for changing the oil with a new oil filter. This value is fairly specific but we recommend filling a little less (about 1-2 oz) than that amount, running the machine for about five minutes, shutting it down for another five minutes, and then checking the dipstick with the machine/van on a level surface.Top off with additional oil if necessary until at the top mark of the dipstick.
