Hello,
I recently purchased a trimmer mower for trimming along a long run of fence. It is a DR Power Pilot model. It has a 174cc OHC (7.0 ft lbs) Briggs and Stratton engine on it. I am looking to keep this machine running for a long time, so I need your expert opinion on what oil to feed it.
The manual states: "Use only SAE 30 high detergent oil classified "For Service SF, SG, SH, SJ” or higher"
Do I simply follow this recommendation? I can grab Super Tech SAE HD-30 during my next WalMart trip if that is the case. Would options from Rotella be overkill here?
I potentially could be operating this in temps in the 40's - 90's (degrees Fahrenheit).
Thank you.
