Spartan Recommended Oil Type
Spartan mower engines generally require SAE 10W-30 or SAE 20W-50, depending on your operating temperature and engine type. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Kawasaki engines: Typically SAE 10W-30 or SAE 20W-50
- Briggs & Stratton/Vanguard: SAE 5W-30 or 10W-30 for cold starts; 15W-50 or 20W-50 for hotter climates
When to Change the Oil
Routine oil changes are key to maintaining performance. Here’s a general guideline:
- After the first 5 hours: Initial break-in period
- Every 50-100 hours: For regular use
- More frequently: In dusty or hot environments
Always replace the oil filter (if equipped) during oil changes for best results.
