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. Remove oil dipstick and wipe dipstick with clean cloth.

Replace and tighten dipstick. Remove and check oil
level.

3. Verify oil is at FULL mark (top hole) on dipstick.

Replace and tighten 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 (top hole) on dipstick. DO NOT overfill.

NOTICE Overfilling with oil could cause the engine to not
start, or hard starting.

• DO NOT overfill.

• If over the FULL mark on dipstick, drain oil to reduce oil level to

FULL mark on dipstick.
