GuyFawkes Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Having bought the mower I am not sure as to which engine oil to use. The booklet says SAE 30/10W30 or 40. But the later on says that SAE30 may cause hard starts. It also says that using 10W30 may cause the excessive use of engine oil. Can anyone advise please.

stouricks Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Got exactly the same one. The 30 refers to the viscosity of the oil in COLD WEATHER situations. So makes little difference over here. If it uses say 100ml (1/10th of a litre) each time, @ Bht 140 per litre....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneeyedJohn Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Briggs and Stratton 500E sounds like a very powerful BB gun.???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I believe Briggs and Stratton now recommends 5W/30 fully synthetic. So Castrol Edge or Mobil1 or, or. You don't need much so cost is not really a factor. The W rating is irrelevant for Thailand as we don't really have a Winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
