•
API Classification Level Required: CH-4, CI-4 or
higher.
•
Preferred oil: SAE 15W-40 (above -17ºC (0ºF))
•
Alternate oil: SAE 10W-30 or 5W-30 (all
temperatures)
Note:
Toro Premium Engine oil is available from a
distributor in either 15W-40 or 10W-30 viscosity. See
the parts catalog for part numbers.
Note:
The best time to check the engine oil is when
the engine is cool before it has been started for the
day. If it has already been run, allow the oil to drain
back down to the sump for at least 10 minutes before
checking. If the oil level is at or below the Add mark
on the dipstick, add oil to bring the oil level to the Full
mark. Do not overfill. If the oil level is between the
Full and Add marks, you do not need to add oil.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, shut off the engine, engage the
parking brake, and remove the key from the
ignition switch.
2. Remove the dipstick
a clean rag.

oil, checking the level frequently, until the level
reaches the Full mark on the dipstick.
