ManualsSteps to Better Engine MaintenanceFor optimum performance, you should change the oil in your small engine after the first five hours of use and then annually, or every 50 hours of use (whichever comes first).
Changing Oil GuideStep 1: Getting StartedStart the engine and run it until it is warm. Stop the engine. WARNING: Be sure to disconnect the spark plug wire, and secure it away from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting. Clean around the oil fill and drain plug area to prevent dirt and debris from falling into the crankcase (see photo at right). Remove the dipstick, if equipped. Step 2: Draining The OilTilt the mower deck with the air filter or spark plug side up, and position some newspaper and an oil pan or jug beneath the mower. Use a 3/8" drive socket wrench and extension (no socket) to turn the plug counter clockwise (see photo at right), allowing the old oil to drain. If the plug also serves as a fill cap (normally yellow or white in color), it may have two prongs so you can loosen it by hand or with a screwdriver or hex key for additional torque. Replace the drain plug by twisting clockwise and tightening with a box wrench or adjustable wrench. If your engine does not have an oil filter, skip this step. Step 3: Engines with Oil FiltersIf your engine has an oil filter, replace it at least once per season.
Step 4: Fill With New OilPour in the correct amount and approved type of oil for your engine, based on this oil capacity chart , or your operator manual. If you have two oil fill plugs (normally yellow or white in color) on each side of the engine, either one can be used to fill the engine with oil to the correct level. Please DO NOT fill the engine with oil without using the correct measuring device as illustrated in your operator’s manual. Oil RecommendationsWe 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. Engines on most outdoor power equipment operate well with 5W30 Synthetic oil. For equipment operated in hot temperatures, Vanguard 15W50 Synthetic oil provides the best protection. * 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. Still Have Questions?Watch this easy guide to change the oil on your engine.
Are all Briggs & Stratton oil filters the same?There is no one Briggs and Stratton that reigns supreme. Rather, which oil filter you buy will depend on which Briggs and Stratton engine you've got.
What size wrench is needed to remove the oil filter?Standard oil filter strap wrenches are made to grip typical, large-size filters measuring 3-1/4-in. to 3-3/4-in. in diameter. Smaller canister-type filters are best removed with a gripping wrench.
Do you need a special wrench for oil filter?Every reputable oil filter is designed to seal for tens of thousands of miles with no more than a good hand-tightening. You don't need a wrench unless you have one of those deeply recessed filters with no space around it for your hands. (If that's the case, the only choice is a cap wrench.)
What can I use if I don't have a oil filter wrench?If you don't have a specialized wrench for removing your oil filter, all is not lost.. A Bandana.. Socket wrench.. Socket extension.. Gloves and safety glasses.. Disposable rags.. Drainage pan.. A Jack and jack stands (depending on the location of your unit).. |
