Aluminum friction plate
If possible, run the engine just before changing the
oil because warm oil flows better and carries more
contaminants.
Important: Do not get oil on the rubber wheel
or the aluminum friction drive plate because the
traction drive will slip (Figure 42).
Max. fill: 20 oz. (0.55 l), type: automotive detergent oil
with an API service classification of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL,
or higher. Use SAE 5W30 or SAE 10W30 oil. Refer to
