Oil
Oil Recommendations
We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty
Certified oils for best performance. Other high-quality
detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF,
SG, SH, SJ or higher. DO NOT use special additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil
viscosity for the engine. Use the chart to select the best
viscosity for the outdoor temperature range expected.
* Below 40°F (4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.
** Above 80°F (27°C) the use of 10W30 may cause increased
oil consumption. Check oil level more frequently.
Checking Oil Level
1. Make sure pressure washer is on a level surface.
2. Remove oil dipstick and wipe dipstick with clean
cloth. Replace and tighten dipstick. Remove and
check oil level.
3. Verify oil is at FULL mark (top hole) on dipstick.
Replace and tighten dipstick.
Adding Engine Oil
1. Make sure pressure washer is on a level surface.
2. Check oil level as described in Checking Oil Level.
3. If needed, slowly pour oil into oil fill opening to the
FULL mark (top hole) on dipstick. DO NOT overfill.
NOTICE Overfilling with oil could cause the engine to
not start, or hard starting.
• DO NOT overfill.
• If over the FULL mark on dipstick, drain oil to reduce oil
level to FULL mark on dipstick.
4. Replace and tighten dipstick.
Changing Engine Oil
An oil change is not required. Follow the steps below if

into a suitable container making sure you tip your
unit away from spark plug. When crankcase is
empty, return pressure washer to upright position.
5. Slowly pour recommended oil (about
15 oz. (0.44 l)) into oil fill opening. Pause to permit
oil to settle. Fill to Full mark (top hole) on dipstick.
