Oil
Oil Recommendations
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.
* Below 40°F (4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.
** Above 80°F (27°C) the use of 10W30 may cause increased oil
consumption. Check oil level more frequently.
Checking Oil Level
Oil level should be checked prior to each use or at least every
8 hours of operation. Keep oil level maintained.
1. Make sure pressure washer is on a level surface.
2. Clean area around oil fill, remove oil cap/dipstick and
wipe dipstick with clean cloth. Insert dipstick, DO NOT
screw in. Remove and check oil level.
3. Verify oil is at Full mark (A) on dipstick.
4. Replace and tighten oil cap/dipstick.
Adding Engine Oil
1. Make sure pressure washer is on a level surface.
2. Check oil level as described in Checking Oil Level.
3. If needed, slowly pour oil into oil fill opening to the Full
mark (A) on dipstick. DO NOT overfill.
4. Replace and tighten oil cap/dipstick.
