OIL CAPACITY
Engine without oil filter holds approximately 1-1l2 quarts
(48 ounces; 1.4 liters). Engine equipped with oil filter holds
approximately 1-3/4 quarts (56 ounces; 1.7 liters).
TYPE OF OIL TO USE
. Use a high quality detergent oil classified "For Service
SF, SG, SH, SJ" or higher, such as Briggs & Stratton
30W, Part Number 100005 (20 oz\ or 100028 (48 oz\.
o Do not use special additives.
. Choose a viscosity according to the table opposite.
.
CAUTION: Air cooled engines run hotter than
automotive engines. The use of non-synthetic
multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.) in
temperatures above 40" F (4'C) will result in higher
than normal oil consumption. When using a
mulli-viscosity oil, check oil level more frequently.
.. CAUTION: SAE
30 oil, if used below 40" F (4" C), will
result in hard starting and possible engine bore
damage due to inadequate lubrication.
