Engi ne Oi l
Engine oil quality is the chief factor affecting
engine service life. Change t he engine oil
as specified in t he maint enance schedule
( page 42) .
When running in very dust y condit ions, oil
changes shoul d be per f or med mor e
frequently than specified in the maintenance
schedule.

unless you handle used oil on a daily basis,
it is still advisable to thoroughly wash your
hands wi t h soap and wat er as soon as
