Oil Recommendations
NOTE: Use a high quality detergent oil classified "For Service
SF, SG, SH, SJ" or higher. DO NOT use special additives.
1. Choose a viscosity according to the table below:
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
NOTE: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2, API certification
mark and API service symbol with "SJ/CF ENERGY
CONSERVING" or higher, is an acceptable oil at all
temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not alter required oil
change intervals.
SAE 30: 40°F and higher (5°C and higher) is good for all
purpose use above 40°F, use below 40°F will cause hard
starting.
10W-30: 0 to 100°F (-18 to 38°C) is better for varying
temperature conditions. This viscosity improves cold weather
starting, but may increase oil consumption above 80°F
(27°C).
*Check oil level frequently at higher temperatures.
Synthetic 5W-30: -20 to 120°F (-30 to 40 °C) provides the
best protection at all temperatures as well as improved
starting with less oil consumption.
5W-30: 40°F and below (5°C and below) is recommended for
winter use and works best in cold conditions.
Checking Oil Level
Oil level should be checked prior to each use or at least every
5 hours of operation. Keep oil level maintained.
1. Make sure pressure washer is on a level surface.
2. Remove oil dipstick and wipe dipstick with clean cloth.
3. Verify oil is at "Full" mark on dipstick. Replace and
