petrol pressure washer oil

what oil do you put in your pressure washer.will semi synthetic motor oil 15w-40 be ok.im not sure. jetmac forgot to put some in.any links please.

Yeah they "forgot" with mine too. Knowing what I know now I would use it without oil to burn out the motor, and then send it back.

I emailed through ebay with a servicing issue and they didnt even bother replying. That, the oil issue, the fact that they bodged up a leak on the inlet, and the fact that they don't standby thier product enough to help with a simple enquiery- I won't be buying from them again. I'm not too far from Rutland so I'll be buying one of thiers next time.

he said he ran out.not good enough.even so whats the best oil to use,

Bllocks. I'll go have a look in the shed and see what I used when I had to play the 'hunt the oil' game.

Its 10W/40 I use mate, and it runs fine.

Hes on his hols at the moment mate, but I got mine from a place that sells lawnmowers and the like. Its a general multigrade oils so it should be easy to come by.

Hi mark is it engine oil or pump and gearbox as well?

If the machine has been shipped then the usually do not come filled with oil but this should have been explained they can't send them with oil in transport

Live n learn mate. If the advert is the same as it was when I bought it was saying that they would send a bottle out with it if I remember right.

I might be able to help

its a licon 212 3000psi 12lpm

lincon I mean.jet mac uses 15w-40 oil.like tuffers said I think 10w-40 should do the job.b&q sell the mountfield oil 10w-40.

My machine is little different its Honda but I always use 10/30

thanks m8 what brand oil do you use?

Castrol mate from Halfords its not expensive think it was 10.99

can you let your pressure washer run- to test it. without being connected to a water supply?

Yes mate it will only be engine running

Engine wise any petrol grade oil you could put in your petrol car 10w-40 10w-30 won't make a jot of difference! Yes if we were in siberia but not here.

As far as companies not oiling its been happening a lot recently. The engines should not be shipped oiled but some times we send them oiled up - unless the pallet gets tipped upside down no one would know - if they do go out dry we send 2 litres of oil - 1 to fill with one to top up. To say you have run out is bolls no ones ever more than 10-20 mins from an petrol station / car garage. And we buy 200 litre barrel & a pallet of 1L tubs no chance of running out.

Enjoy your weekend oil hunt! /emoticons/smile.png
