* Engine Variations: Tecumseh produced a wide range of 5hp engines over the years. Each model might have slightly different crankcases and oil capacities.
* Specific Model: To find the correct oil capacity, you need to know the exact model number of your Tecumseh engine.
* User Manual: The most reliable source of information is the owner's manual for your engine. This manual will specify the correct oil type and amount.
Where to Find the Model Number:
* Engine Tag: Look for a metal tag attached to the engine block. It usually contains the model number.
* Engine Housing: The model number might be stamped or embossed directly on the engine housing.
How to Find the User Manual:
* Online: Search for the model number online, often you can find manuals on the Tecumseh website or other engine parts websites.
* Local Dealer: Contact a local small engine repair shop or dealer. They may have access to manuals for older Tecumseh engines.
Safety Note: Overfilling your engine with oil can cause damage. Always follow the manufacturer's recommended oil capacity.
