Servicing the Engine Oil and
Filter
The engine is shipped with oil in the crankcase; however,
check the oil level before and after you first start the engine.
Crankcase capacity: 7.5 L (8 US qt) with the filter.
Use only high-quality SAE 15W-40 heavy-duty engine oil with
an API classification of CH-4 or higher.
While SAE 15W-40 oil with an API classification of CH-4 or
higher is recommended for most climates, refer to
for oil viscosity recommendations for extreme climates.

Note: Limited use of low-viscosity oils such as SAE 10W-30
with an API classification of CH-4 or higher can be used for
easier starting and providing sufficient oil flow at ambient
temperatures below -5°C (23°F). However, continuous use

Toro Premium Engine Oil is available from an Authorized
Toro Service Dealer in either 15W-40 or 10W-30 viscosity
with API classification CH-4 or higher. See the parts catalog
for part numbers.
Checking the Engine-Oil Level
Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check the
1. Park the machine on a level surface, stop the engine,
and remove the ignition key.
2. Open the front hood.
3. Remove the dipstick

4. Insert the dipstick into the oil fill tube, pull the dipstick
out again, and read the oil level on the dipstick.
Note: The oil level on the dipstick should be at the
High mark or between the Low and High marks. If
the oil is below the Low mark, complete the following
procedure:
A. Remove the fill cap
