Honda GC 160

[rock]

I recently purchased a DeVilbiss pressure washer model EXH-2425. It was a "Home Depot orphan special" so it did not come with a manual. The DeVilbiss site is GREAT, they have copies of user manuals in PDF format for the washer, but not the Honda engine that runs it, they say you need to get that from Honda. The Honda site is not so good and all but void of information, lots of pretty pictures and Flash animations of motors though... *sigh*

My questions, to the owner of a similar piece of equipment are...

1) What oil should I use in it, I'm guessing plain 'ol SAE-30 like most little engines out there.

2) How do you tell when it is at the proper fill level? The dipstick, much like the Honda web site is void of any useful information, but quite elaborate with lots of hash marks.

TIA

From my GX160 manual:SAE 30, 50 degrees and above;
10w30, zero and above outside temperature. Mine has a dipstick, but you want the oil level to be to the outer edge of the oil fill opening (to the outside of the lower thread).
