DESCRIPTION
Briggs & Stratton Intek
™
OHV V-Twins use a full pressure lubrication system with an oil filter. The gear driven oil pump draws oil
from a screened oil pickup in the sump and pumps the oil through the oil filter.
The filtered oil flows through oil galleries in the sump and is distributed to the main bearings, connecting rod bearings and
camshaft bearings. Engine oil pressure will vary with oil viscosity, ambient air temperature differences, operating temperatures
and engine load. Follow the oil recommendation on page 1 of this section.
Oil Pressure

@ 70
°
F (21
°
C): 15 ~ 50 psi (1.0 ~ 3.5 Bar)
A pressure relief valve limits the maximum oil pressure in the system.
An optional oil pressure switch is available. The switch may be used to activate a warning device if oil pressure drops below
approximately 5 psi (0.07 Bar) The warning device and all wiring is supplied by the equipment manufacturer.
CHANGE OIL
Change oil and filter after first 8 hours of operation.
Thereafter, change oil and filter every 50 hours of
operation. Change oil and filter more often if engine is
operated in dusty or dirty conditions or if engine is operated
under heavy loads or high ambient air temperatures.
Remove oil drain plug and drain oil while engine is still
warm, Fig. 1. Install and torque drain plug to 125 in. lbs.
(14.0 Nm).

Remove oil fill cap and refill with oil of recommended grade
and viscosity. See page 1.
Oil Capacity: 4.0 pints (1.9 liters) with filter
3-3/4 pints (1.8 liters) without filter
Fill to FULL mark on dipstick, Fig. 2. DO NOT OVERFILL.
Overfilling sump can cause a smoking or overheating
condition due oil foaming.
