A friend who knows the answer can help by answering it. What kind of oil is best for this machine?
During the warranty period, the manufacturer is responsible for changing the oil; after the warranty expires, one can change the oil on a regular basis by oneself. The fuel level is usually indicated; if not, do not fill it to the top – about two-thirds full is sufficient. It is said that various manufacturers aim to make money from lubricants through after-sales services (by bidding at low prices during the purchase phase). If one decides to ditch the manufacturer (agent) and use another supplier for lubricants, the best approach is to turn to a lubricant supplier, who will usually help choose the right lubricant based on the equipment and operating conditions.
Generally, the manufacturer’s oil is used. The oil tank is equipped with an oil sight glass; if not, there should be an oil dipstick. As a last resort, the volume of the oil tank can be used to determine the amount of oil needed – a little over half of that amount is sufficient. If the oil consumption is high, it’s necessary to carry out inspections and maintenance. A great maintenance guide was posted on this forum on January 14, 2007
