Oil Recommendations
• Do not use special additives.
• Choose a viscosity from the following chart.
Check/Add Oil
Before adding or checking the oil
• Place engine level.
• Clean the oil fill area of any debris.
1. Remove the dipstick (B) and wipe with a clean cloth
(Figure 1).
2. Insert and tighten the dipstick.
3. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. Make sure
the oil is at the FULL mark (C) on the dipstick.
4. To add oil, pour the oil slowly into the engine oil fill (D).
DO NOT OVERFILL. After adding oil, wait one minute
and then recheck the oil level.
5. Fill to the FULL mark (C) on the dipstick.
6. Replace and tighten the dipstick.
Fuel Recommendations
Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
• A minimum of 87 octane / 87 AKI (91 RON). High altitude
use, see below.
• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to
15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl
CAUTION
Do not use unapproved gasolines, such as E85. Do not
mix oil in gasoline or modify the engine to run on
alternate fuels. This will damage the engine components
and void the engine warranty.
en
ether), is acceptable.
SAE 30 405 F and higher (55 C and higher)
is good for all purpose use above 40°F, use below 40°F
will cause hard starting.
10W-30 0 to 1005 F (−18 to 385 C)
is better for varying temperature conditions. This grade of
oil improves cold weather starting, but may increase oil
consumption at 80°F (27°C) or higher.
* Check oil level frequently at higher temperatures.
Synthetic 5W-30 −20 to 1205 F (−30 to 405 C)
provides the best protection at all temperatures as well as
improved starting with less oil consumption.
5W-30 405 F and below (55 C and below)
is recommended for winter use, and works best in cold
conditions.

To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel
stabilizer into the fuel. See Storage. All fuel is not the same.
If starting or performance problems occur, change fuel
providers or change brands. This engine is certified to
operate on gasoline. The emissions control system for this
engine is EM (Engine Modifications).
High Altitude
At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum 85
octane / 85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable. To remain
emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is required.
Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased
performance, increased fuel consumption, and increased
emissions. See an Authorized Briggs & Stratton Dealer for
high altitude adjustment information.
Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet (762
meters), with the high altitude kit is not recommended.
