Briggs & Stratton 30W Engine Oil - 18 Oz. 100005

 (7 customer reviews)

Other than coming in a bottle that is an exact factory-fill for B&S walk-behind engines, this is just a SAE 30HD oil. Yes, it'll work. But it isn't any different from any other SAE 30HD oil that you can get at any auto parts store, the discount store of your choice, wherever, for less money for an entire quart.

(NOTE: For engines that do not need to operate in cold weather, be sure to use a "straight" 30-weight oil. Do not substitute a multi-viscosity oil like 5W30. The viscosity modifiers in multi-weight oil do not necessarily hold up well to the high-temperature environment of an air-cooled mower engine. This can cause the oil to be lower in viscosity than intended by the time you change it.)

It's just 30W oil, with a B&S label on it. They don't make their own oil. 30W is 30W. I've never used it, and have never had a B&S engine break down. You're paying almost $10 a quart for oil? Ridiculous.

Engine oil spec'ed by the Toro manual. The oil that comes with the Recycler lawn mowers is 2 oz over. The engines in Toros are Briggs & Stratton, so you might as well buy it from B&S. Cheaper than no name oils at Home Depot and Lowes.
