* Engine Variations: Briggs & Stratton produces a wide range of 5.5 hp engines, and each model may have a different oil capacity.
* Oil Type: The type of oil (SAE 30, 10W-30, etc.) can also affect the amount needed.
* Your Specific Model: To determine the correct oil capacity, you need to know the specific model number of your Briggs & Stratton engine.
How to Find the Oil Capacity:
1. Check the Engine: Look for a sticker or label on the engine itself that indicates the oil capacity. It's often located on the side of the engine block or valve cover.
2. Consult the Owner's Manual: The manual that came with your Murray mower or the specific Briggs & Stratton engine will provide the correct oil capacity.
3. Briggs & Stratton Website: You can often find this information on the Briggs & Stratton website. Search for your engine model number.
4. Authorized Dealer: Contact a local Briggs & Stratton authorized dealer. They can provide the information you need based on your engine's model number.
Important Note: Always use the type and amount of oil recommended by Briggs & Stratton for your engine. Using too much or too little oil can damage the engine.
