Engine Oil Filling
1.
Add engine oil; use a funnel or pour spout to direct the oil into the opening (Figure 20). With filter change, the
engine requires 1-1/2 qt. (1.4 L) of oil per change.
2.
Refer to oil viscosity guidelines for selection of oil grade (Figure 21). See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Do not exceed recommended oil capacity. Doing so will decrease engine performance or result in
damage to the engine.
1.
Connect the battery cables, positive (+) cable first, and tighten terminals to 80 in-lb (9 N·m). Coat terminals with
Battery Terminal Protector Spray (P/N 603 00 00-03).
2.
With the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, start and run the engine for a few minutes. Observe
both the drain plug and the oil filter from under the vehicle and watch for oil leaks. If a leak is detected, check
the tightness of the oil filter and drain plug. Tighten, repair, and/or replace components as necessary. See
following NOTE.
NOTE: Wait five minutes after turning off the engine before removing the dipstick.
3.
Remove the dipstick and check the engine oil as a final step. Replace the dipstick.
OIL VISCOSITY
Choose the viscosity according to the temperature as shown in the appropriate oil viscosity chart (Figure 21). See
following NOTE.
NOTE: Use a high quality detergent engine oil with API classification SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher for gasoline engines.
See Briggs and Stratton Vanguard Model 2900000 Service Manual for further information regarding
oil recommendation.
Using multi-grade oils (5W-30, 10W-30, and 10W-40) may increase oil consumption. If multi-grade oil is used, check
the oil level more frequently.
