oimRecommendations
NOTE:Usea high quality detergent oiI ciassified "For Service
SF,SG, SH, SJ" or higher. DO NOTuse special additives.
1. Choosea viscosity according to the table below:

NOTE:Synthetic oii meeting iLSAC GF-2,API certification
markand APi service symboi with "SJ/CF ENERGY
CONSERVING"or higher, is an acceptabie oii at aii
temperatures. Useof synthetic oil does not alter required oil
change intervals.
SAE30: 40°Fand higher (5°C and higher) is good for aii
purpose use above 40°F, use below 40°F will cause hard
starting.
10Wo30:0 to !O0°F (=18to 38°C) is better for varying
temperature conditions. This viscosity improves coid weather
starting, but may increase oil consumption above 80°F
(27%).
*Check oii ievei frequently at higher temperatures,
Synthetic 5w-3g: =20to 120°F(=30to 40 °C) provides the
best protection at all temperatures as well as improved
starting with iess oii consumption,
5W-30: 40°F and below (5°C and be/ow) is recommendedfor
winter use and works best in cold conditions.
CheckingOil Level
OiI level should be checked prior to each use or at least every
5 hours of operation. Keep oii ievei maintained.
1. Makesure pressure washer is on a ievei surface.
2. Remove oii dipstick and wipe dipstick with clean cioth.
Reptaceand tigilten dipstick. Removeand and check oil
levei.
3. Verify oiI is at "FuIF' mark on dipstick. Replaceand
tighten dipstick.
1. Makesure pressure washer is on a Ievei surface.
2. Checkoii ievei as described in Checking Off Level
3. If needed,siowiy pour oil into oil fiii openingto the
"Full" mark on dipstick. DO NOToverfill.
Overfiiiing with oil may cause the engine to not start, or
hard starting.
DO NOToverfill.
If over the FULL mark on dipstick, drain off to reduce oil level to
FULL rnark on dipstick.
4. Replaceand tigllten dipstick.
Changeengine oii after the first 5 hours and every 50 hours
thereafter, if you are using your pressure washer under
extremeiy dirty or dusty conditions, or in extremely hot
weather, change oil more often.
