The generator should have come with an owner's manual that lists the type of oil. Also, the oil refill may list the oil weight to use.
Is it a 2 stroke or 4 stroke engine, Gas or Diesel. I would suggest consulting your owners manual. On a 4 cycle engine use SAE 10w30 synthetic.
It is possible to use 4-stroke oil in a 2-stroke engine in an emergency situation. You should not use this oil in the long term as it will damage the engine.
Sure! You can also use 4 stroke automotive oil that meets the API specification your motor needs, for a heck of a lot less money.
No this will ruin engine!
If it is a 4 stroke then use SAE 10w-30 100% synthetic. If it is a 2 stroke use a 2 stroke 100% synthetic oil.
4 stroke fuel is straight petrol, it does not have oil in it! If you use it in a 2 stroke engine you will seize the motor. 2 stroke fuel has oil added to it.
You should use the appropriate oil for the type of motor it is. 4-strokes should have 4-stroke oil and 2-strokes should have 2-stroke oil. my friend bought a used 4 stroke 4 wheeler and the first day the oil started shooting from the head,she took it back and he ran hoses from crankcaase to head, and the previous owner told her to use 2 stroke in crankcase.makes no sence unless hes rigged it up to work temporaraly.
Absolutely not. Use only 4 cycle oil in a 4 stroke engine. 2 stroke oil is formulated to be mixed with gasoline and will not protect a 4 cycle engine.
4 cycle! Automobiles are 4 stroke engines. chain saws snowmobiles and leaf blowers are examples of 2 stroke engines. If engine has an oil pan, or oil filter, it is a 4 stroke. if it does not have an oil pan, it is 2 stroke. Briggs and Stratton are 4 stroke motors.
You need to define what your use of the oil will be. If you mean adding oil to the fuel, you do not need to do this on an 4 stroke motor. Or maybe you mean engine oil, or maybe transmission oil?
Absolutely not. Use only 4 cycle oil in a 4 stroke engine. 2 stroke oil is formulated to be mixed with gasoline and will not protect a 4 cycle engine.
yes!!!!!!!!!!!
