NOTICE
Some engines are shipped from Briggs & Stratton with or without oil. Always make
sure that the engine has oil. If you start the engine without oil, it will be damaged
beyond repair and will not be included under the warranty.
We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton
®
Warranty Certified oils for best
performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are permitted if classified for service SF,
SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the correct oil viscosity for the engine. Use the chart
to select the best viscosity for the outdoor temperature range expected. Engines on
most outdoor power equipment operate well with 5W-30 Synthetic oil. For equipment
operated in hot temperatures, Vanguard
®
15W-50 Synthetic oil gives the best
protection.
