I bought it used, the fill cap on the pump reads....

"Motoren Oel 15W/40"

Obviously it's in the German form but is this regular motor oil or non-detergent oil?

This is not the engine oil fill cap.

Motor is GX390 Honda.
 
I called Karcher, actually open today and they said it's non-detergent oil.
 
I had some 30W non-detergent pump oil I thought I used up and tried that. Turns out the pump is surging and is leaking pump oil. Appears to be an O-ring but the surging is another issue. I tried to find the unloader valve but for the life of me I cannot locate it.
