•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).

•Do not use special additives.

•Choose a viscosity according to the table opposite.

STARTING TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE

*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 multi-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.

CHECKING AND ADDING OIL

•Check oil level before starting the engine.

•Check level daily, or after every eight (8) hours.
