Cold Weather Operation for 4-Cycle Engines
Internal engine condensation increases as outside temperatures
decrease. If the vehicle is used year-round, check the oil level
frequently. A rising oil level could indicate condensation in the bottom
of the crankcase, which can lead to engine damage. Any condensation
must be drained. If the oil level rises to the top of the sight glass,
change the oil immediately.
Always operate the engine long enough to reach operating temperature,
which reduces condensation.
