* SAE 30 oil for normal operating temperatures.
* SAE 10W-30 oil for colder temperatures.
Here's why you should consult the manual:
* Engine Model: Different Briggs & Stratton engines have different requirements.
* Operating Conditions: The recommended oil can vary depending on the climate where you live and the type of work your engine does.
* Oil Type: Some engines may require special types of oil, such as synthetic oil or oil with specific additives.
However, here's a general guideline for Briggs & Stratton engines:
* Most Briggs & Stratton engines use conventional oil.
* Synthetic oil can be used but is not always necessary.
Important:
* Do not overfill the oil. This can cause serious engine damage.
* Change the oil regularly. How often you change the oil depends on how much you use the engine. Consult your owner's manual for specific recommendations.
* Use a clean oil filter. A dirty oil filter can reduce engine performance and cause damage.
Always consult your engine's owner's manual for the most accurate information.
