Engine Oil
Engine Oil Filling
1.
Add engine oil; use a funnel or pour spout to direct the oil into the opening
(Figure 27)
. With filter change,
the engine requires 1.5 qt. (1.4 L) of oil per change.
2.
Refer to oil viscosity guidelines for selection of oil grade
(Figure 28)
.
See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Do not exceed recommended oil capacity. Doing so will decrease engine performance or result in
damage to the engine.
1.
Connect battery and spark plug wires.
See Connecting the Battery – Gasoline Vehicle on page 12
. Coat
terminals with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (P/N 1014305).
2.
With the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, start and run the engine for a few minutes. Observe
both the drain plug and the oil filter from under the vehicle and watch for oil leaks. If a leak is detected, check
the tightness of the oil filter and drain plug. Tighten, repair, and/or replace components as necessary.
See
following NOTE.
NOTE:
Wait five minutes after turning off the engine before removing the dipstick.
3.
Remove the dipstick and check the engine oil as a final step. Replace the dipstick.
OIL VISCOSITY
Choose the viscosity according to the temperature as shown in the appropriate oil viscosity chart
(Figure 28)
.
See
following NOTE.
NOTE:
Use a high quality detergent engine oil with API classification SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher for gasoline engines.
See Briggs and Stratton Vanguard Model 2900000 Service Manual for further information regarding
oil recommendation.
NOTE:
Using multi-grade oils (5W-20, 10W-30, and 10W-40) may increase oil consumption. If multi-grade oil is
used, check the oil level more frequently.
Gasoline Vehicles Only: Below 40 °F (4 °C), the use of SAE 30 may result in hard starting.
Gasoline Vehicles Only: Above 80 °F (27 °C), the use of 10W-30 may cause increased oil consumption.
Check oil level more frequently.
