Engine oil SAE in pressure washer?
« on: January 27, 2006, 08:15:10 am »
I'm bringing my pressure washer out for the new season and want to change the engine oil.

Does anyone know what SAE I should put in it?

I have a note that says 15W40, but not sure it is about the washer or the grass mower.

Thanks in advance

    15W40 should be OK, it is plenty thick enough without being too thick, and it's better than none at all.

In the second world war, in African deserts, the British Army put sand in thier tank tranmissions when they ran out of oil - and it worked - for a while!

Seriously.

Cheers Marc.  Any brand I should look for?  The best?

    I wouldn't put in anything too expensive, especially not fully synthetic, it will be a waste of money, Halfords own brand seems pretty good to me, I have run high performance motorcycles on thier own brand without any problems.
