BTW, the oil light flashes when you are low on oil-6 quarts needed to fill- top of dip stick- or oil light will flash.

In the manual I linked for you, there is an oil chart.

What did the PO previous owner use?

Thanks, I figured the flashing light out - guess it takes a while to fill that filter up on these things. I used 10W-30 because I was too lazy to go 20 miles to the nearest store when my local one was out of 20W-50. The previous owner was having his oil changed and doesn't know other than Valvoline. Thanks again for the manual, it's been a great source of knowledge for my new toy!
