I just found this B&S page
https://www.briggsandstratton.com/n...wer-oil-type-and-capacity.html#oilfinder
Something on the oil viscosity chart does not make sense. It indicates that 30W; 10W-30; and 5W-30 *synthetic* are good to 100*F -- but it shows 5W-30 dino oil topping out at 40*F.
Looks like a mistake to me, any thoughts?
Something interesting is that B&S recommends synthetic oil. I agree, I use it exclusively in all of our vehicles and equipment, but I don't think I've ever seen a mfr say much at all about synthetic vs dino oil, let alone give it such a strong endorsement.
