What type of oil should be used, weight? Is it mixed? Sorry, not engine savvy.

This is a 4-cycle engine, not a 2-cycle. That means no mixing oil with gas---you fill the oil pan like you do with your car. Instructions and a funnel are included. You use regular car oil--there is a chart for oil weight vs. temperatures. Cheap 10w30 is good for most purposes. I used a 5w40 synthetic oil because we are most likely to lose power in the winter, when its below freezing.

No problem. Standard 5w-30 (no mix) is all it takes. I got mine at WalMart. They also sell synthetic 5w-30. I changed the oil after the first 5 hours. Went with synthetic.

Use straight gas. It has a separate oil reservoir and dipstick, like a car.

I think you can use any fluid. The box doesn't say anything about what kind of fluid you can use or can't use. I used it with gear oil.

The oil capacity is 26-28 oz. They 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. Please see owner's manual for more detailed information. The weight of oil will depend on the temperature the engine will be operating in. In most cases 10W30 weight oil is used.

Sorry, I'm not an expert. When I used this product with conventional motor oil I had high hopes but, ultimately, I was dissappointed. It's possible that the oil leak stopped for a little while but it came back and is significant.

Several factors, what type of oil your using? how many miles on vehicle and the interval of oil changes?

Try prolong it doesn't burn as fast as conventional oil. Mix it with the motor oil every oil change. It can be purchased at auto zones or online at www.gwlinc.com/estore/category/34_1/Automotive.aspx

I never have had to use oil, just keep it clean use an air can and spray it clean and spray a little amount of WD40 on all moving parts

Yes, you definitely need the oil mix. You can get it pretty much anywhere. And I am sure its fine to use any grade gasoline, but 87 is what I use.

I've never recommended synthetic on a new engine (excluding vehicles which *require* synthetic -- different from *recommended*). I like to do the first 3 or 4 oil changes on any new engine with conventional, before considering synthetic, which is typically about 6k miles (the key to conventional is to change it often). If your engine is already well broken in, synthetic is good. I've seen strange things happen when synthetic is used too early in a new engine which was designed to run conventional. Just make sure to warm the engine up well before running it hard, and avoid short run times, especially when it's cold out.

............ lolwutit's GF-5 Fully Synthetic. In the U.S. it's considered a blend, in other place it's a synthetic, that's just how it is in the auto industry. Why are you looking into buying this oil anyways?

I'd check your owners manual but generally GM specifies 10-30 weight oil. Depending on your mileage the move to synthetic can improve gas mileage slightly and assist the engine in running a bit cooler as less friction. If your engine has any leaks it may exacerbate them. Once you switch to synthetic you should stick with it.

I was wondering if it used gas/oil mix, so I looked up the users manual on google. It clearly states; fill the crancase with oil and use only regular grade gas, not to exceed 87 octane

Use regular unleaded fuel 87 octane,do not mix oil with gas.Oil goes separate in the crankcase, oil type 5W30.

It uses regular motor oil. It comes with the oil you need to fill and run it.
