How often should I change the oil in my Briggs & Stratton engine?

Briggs & Stratton typically recommends changing the oil in their engines every 50 hours of operation or at least once every season, whichever comes first. However, if the engine is used in extremely dusty or dirty conditions, more frequent oil changes may be beneficial to ensure optimal performance and longevity. For those who use the engine infrequently, it is still important to change the oil at least once a year, even if the engine has not reached the 50-hour mark. Always check the owner’s manual for specific recommendations as it may vary based on the engine model. In addition to regular oil changes, it is crucial to monitor the oil level and quality frequently, especially during heavy use. This attention to maintenance will help ensure that the engine runs smoothly and efficiently. For detailed guidance, the latest information can usually be found on their official website.
