This was confusing for us also. There was pump oil in the box. Additionally, our instructions said to flll the oil resevoir with pump oil, but there was already oil in the reservoir. Have used it about 6 times now and it works just fine.

If yours didn't come with the required oil... A Synthetic motor oil is required, not sure what compressor/pump is accaptable

The unit did come with pump and engine oil... It only requires you to add it yourself but the instructions are artached

I ordered two, both came with motor oil, only one came with the cat pump oil. I buy the oil made for cat pumps in Home Depot $10 bottle.I have never used synthetic in a washer

Use the honda recommended oil for the engine 10/30 fill until you can see it. Use pump 10/30 non detergent oil for cat pump but don't fill passed the bubble indicator. I ordered this pressure washer few months back, it's as good as the landa pressure washer I used to own. They both have the honda motor and cat pump the differance is I can load it by myself. I would have like a holster for the wand and a longer hose if I had to complain but those are easy fixes. But when I ordered it from amazon it had the motor and pump oil included. CBF

Go to the lawn mower section of home depot or similar and they'll have pump oil. Synthetic is ok.

I have purchased a few units. All came with a bottle of pump oil. Pressure pro also sells there pump oil through Amazon. Use pressure washer pump oil specifically.

My pump came with oil. Although it was poorly packaged and if you box was the slightest bit damaged it probably came out of the box. The oil it came with says 10W30 non detergent oil. This is for the pump only.

This is from the Honda website: Honda engines are developed, tested and certified with petroleum based motor oils as a lubricant. Synthetic oils may be used; however, any motor oil used in our engines must meet all oil requirements as stated in the owner's manual. In addition, recommended oil change intervals must be followed. I do plan on using Synthetic oil but not for my first engine run and break in period. I'll use petroleum based motor oil then switch to Synthetic oil on the next oil change and probably do it quickly, such as after about 10hrs of run time.

no, you don't have to add oil to this fuel. runs my high power engines very well. it's the % of nitro that mst be consitter

I would agree that it is since we have the same engine "technically". The issue you may want to consider is if you have been using a non-synthetic oil- this one is indeed synthetic and I hear that you shouldn't mix. If you are already using synthetic this is a fantastic oil for our cars. I am using it in a 2012 Audi A4 1.8T

Suzuki Marine 4 Cycle Engine Oil 10W-40. It does not mix with or burn with the gas. Its just like a car engine

Yes, I think so. The full synthetic racing oil will give you more lubrication and protection, especially at extremes. I noticed in my 2011 Kawasaki Concours which was already extremely smooth and quiet, that after I switched to 4T that it seemed to shift even smoother. I would recommend.

Yes this unit comes with both oils needed. The pump is a sealed pump so no need to add oil there. The engine oil will come in a quart in the box.

My machine came with a bottle of oil it was regular air compressor crankcase oil available at your hardware store.

Yes it has auto oiling. But you may have to adjust carbureter to keep it idling

It's a 4-cycle engine not a 2-cycle engine so it needs oil for the engine crankcase. You do not have to mix the gas.

Yes, it is needed to buy engine oil before you can run the machine. I used 5W-30 engine oil.

You shouldn't run anything but synthetic in your turbo model. 5w-40 is perfect. exactly what the dealer uses. you will gunk up the engine if you use conventional oil.

30 wt motor oil is recommended. The unit leaks like crazy but I just keep a pile of rags in the carrying case. Keep snugging all of the bolts as well.....the vibration keeps working them loose and adding to the leakage. For the price...this thing has taken a severe amount of abuse and just keeps running.....and leaking...love it.

If its oil injection it will work fine since the pump regulates the oil amount delivered to the fuel. This oils has 24:1 to 10o:1 mix ratio.

5w 30 synthetic is recomemded by Brigg and Straton, (the engine manufacturer). I prefer synthetic over the regular oil. I will start using it next summer.

the oil is to lube the motor just like your car engine if you don't keep the oil level the motor will seize they ship it in bottle because if it was in the pump it will pour out in shipping if the box gets turned upside down or sideways in transit witch it probably would several times so you fill it when arrives I love mine I bought its so small and light compared to my 41 pound unit I have hope that helps you

Yes you do need to buy engine oil. 5W-30 is recommended. It is easily available in Walmart rather than Lowes or HomeDepot

I have not used any oil with mine since I've had it. Not sure where you can get it.
