Use up most of the oil in the Tank and fill with your choice of any oil with the TCW-3 rating.

procraftmark,<br /><br />What a great opportunity to service the VRO system.<br /><br />1. Remove the tank.<br /><br />2. Dump out the old oil.<br /><br />3. Replace the sock on the pick up tube.<br /><br />4. Remove the oil line where it attaches to the engine.<br /><br />5. Squeeze the oil line primer bulb to remove the oil in the line.<br /><br />6. Reinstall and refill the tank.<br /><br />7. Prime the oil line going to the engine using the primer bulb. Best to do this with the line at the engine disconnected. Reattach.<br /><br />8. Mark a line on the tank with the NEW oil level.<br /><br />9. MOST IMPORTANT. Mix the fuel in the fuel tank at 50:1 (one pint oil per six gal. fuel-87 octane). Run the engine and look for oil useage (oil level dropping in tank). <br /><br />10. Once you verify oil useage, your ready to start putting regular fuel back in the fuel tank.
