What type of oil for a 5 hp Briggs ands stratton engine?

You'll want to use SAE 30 oil for your 5 hp Briggs & Stratton engine. Here's why:

* SAE 30 is the recommended viscosity for most Briggs & Stratton engines. It provides the right balance of lubrication at various operating temperatures.

* Check your owner's manual: The best and most accurate information will always be in the owner's manual for your specific engine model.

Additional Information:

* High-quality oil: Use a high-quality oil that meets the API service classification "SF" or higher.

* Oil changes: Change the oil regularly as recommended by your owner's manual, typically every 25 hours of operation or seasonally.

Important Notes:

* Never mix oil types: Using different types of oil can cause problems with your engine.

* Never overfill the crankcase: Overfilling can lead to oil being forced out of the engine.
