* Model Variation: Honda makes a wide range of lawnmower engines with different displacements, and a "5.5" designation might not be specific enough.
* Engine Type: Even within the same displacement, there could be variations in the engine design that affect oil capacity.
* Oil Type: The recommended oil type (SAE 30, for example) is crucial information, as it might affect the oil capacity slightly.
How to Find the Correct Information:
1. Consult the Owner's Manual: The most reliable source for oil capacity is your specific lawnmower's owner's manual. Look for the engine model number, and the manual should provide the exact information.
2. Look for a Sticker: Many engines have a sticker with oil capacity information. It might be located on the engine itself or on the underside of the mower deck.
3. Contact Honda: If you can't find the information in the manual or on the engine, contact Honda customer support. They will be able to assist you with the correct capacity for your specific model.
Important Note: Always use the recommended oil type and fill the engine to the appropriate level. Overfilling can damage the engine.
