CAUTION: This engine is shipped from Briggs &
Stratton without oil
. Check oil level before starting
engine. If you start the engine without oil, the engine
will be damaged beyond repair and will not be
covered under warranty.
Note: If this engine is equipped with gear reduction, gear
reduction case must be filled with oil prior to operating en-
gine. See gear reduction oil filling instructions on page 12.
OIL CAPACITY
The engine holds approximately 2/3 qt. (21 ozs; 0.6 liter).
TYPE OF OIL TO USE
• Use a high quality detergent oil classified “For Service
SF, SG, SH, SJ” or higher, such as Briggs & Stratton 30,
Part Number 100005 (20 oz) or 100028 (48 oz).
• Do not use special additives.
• Choose a viscosity according to the table opposite.
Note: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2, API
certification mark and API service symbol
(shown at left) with “SJ/CF ENERGY CON-
SERVING” or higher, is an acceptable oil at all
temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not
alter required oil change intervals.

* CAUTION: Air cooled engines run hotter than
automotive engines. The use of non-synthetic
multi-viscosity oils (5W-30, 10W-30, etc.) in
temperatures above 40° F (4° C) will result in higher
than normal oil consumption. When using a
multi-viscosity oil, check oil level more frequently.
** CAUTION: SAE 30 oil, if used below 40° F (4° C), will
result in hard starting and possible engine bore
damage due to inadequate lubrication.
