Here's why:
* SAE 30 is a common recommendation for small, air-cooled engines like those found in lawnmowers and other outdoor power equipment.
* Viscosity: SAE 30 oil has a good viscosity for providing adequate lubrication at the operating temperatures of these engines.
* Performance: It offers sufficient protection against wear and tear, even under demanding conditions.
Important Note: Always consult the owner's manual for your specific engine model. The manual will provide the most accurate information on the recommended oil type and viscosity.
Here are some additional tips:
* Oil Type: Use a high-quality, detergent oil that is designed for air-cooled engines.
* Change Oil Regularly: Change your oil every 25 hours of operation or as recommended in your owner's manual.
* Check Oil Level Frequently: Make sure you have enough oil in the engine before each use.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure your Briggs and Stratton engine runs smoothly and lasts for years to come.
