The viscosity of the engine oil is an important factor when determining the correct
engine oil to use in your machine. Use an engine oil of appropriate viscosity based
on the expected outside air temperature. See the table below.
WARNING
Most used liquids from this machine such as oil, gasoline, grease, etc., contain
small amounts of materials that can cause cancer and other health problems if
inhaled, ingested, or left in contact with skin for prolonged periods of time.
► Take steps to avoid inhaling or ingesting used liquids.
► Wash skin thoroughly after exposure to used liquids.
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.
