NOTICE
This engine was shipped from Briggs & Stratton without oil. Equipment manufacturers
or dealers may have added oil to the engine. Before you start the engine for the first
time, make sure to check the oil level and add oil as specified by the instructions in
this manual. If you start the engine without oil, it will be damaged beyond repair and
will not be covered under warranty.
We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton
®
Warranty Certified oils for best
performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are permitted if classified for service SF,
SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the correct oil viscosity for the engine. Use the chart
to select the best viscosity for the outdoor temperature range expected. Engines on
most outdoor power equipment operate well with 5W-30 Synthetic oil. For equipment
operated in hot temperatures, Vanguard
®
15W-50 Synthetic oil gives the best
protection.
