Oil Recommendations
Oil Capacity: See the
Specifications section.
We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty Certified
oils for best performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are
acceptable if classified for service SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher.
Do not use special additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for the
engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity for the outdoor
temperature range expected.
SAE 30 - Below 40 °F (4 °C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard
starting.
A
10W-30 - Above 80 °F (27 °C) the use of 10W-30 may cause increased
oil consumption. Check oil level more frequently.
B
Synthetic 5W-30
C
5W-30
D
Check Oil Level
See Figure: 3
Before adding or checking the oil
• Make sure the engine is level.
• Clean the oil fill area of any debris.
1.
Remove the dipstick (A, Figure 3) and wipe with a clean
cloth.
2.
Install and tighten the dipstick (A, Figure 3).
3.
Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. Correct oil level
is at the top of the full indicator (B, Figure 3) on the dipstick.
4.
If oil level is low, slowly add oil into the engine oil fill (C,
Figure 3). Do not overfill. After adding oil, wait one minute
and then recheck the oil level.
Note: Do not add oil at the quick oil drain , if equipped. For
location, see
Features and Controls.
5.
Reinstall and tighten the dipstick (A, Figure 3).
Oil Pressure
If the oil pressure is too low, a pressure switch (if equipped) will
either stop the engine or activate a warning device on the
equipment. If this occurs, stop the engine and check the oil level
with the dipstick.
If the oil level is below the ADD mark, add oil until it reaches
the FULL mark. Start the engine and check for proper pressure
before continuing to operate.
If the oil level is between the ADD and FULL marks, do not
start the engine. Contact an authorized dealer to have the oil
pressure problem corrected.
Fuel Recommendations
Fuel must meet these requirements:
