The Troy-Bilt TB320 is a gas-powered lawn mower. To ensure optimal performance and prolong the life of the engine, it is important to use the correct type and grade of oil in the mower.
According to the owner's manual of the Troy-Bilt TB320, the mower is designed to use SAE 30 weight oil with a API service classification of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher. SAE 30 weight oil is a standard grade of oil that is commonly used in small engines such as those found in lawn mowers. The API service classification refers to the level of performance and protection provided by the oil.
It is recommended to use a detergent oil with an API service classification of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher. These classifications indicate that the oil has been tested and meets the minimum performance and protection requirements set by the American Petroleum Institute (API).
It's important to note that the oil level should be checked before each use of the mower and should be changed at least once a year, or after every 50 hours of use, whichever comes first. Additionally, The mower should also be run for a few minutes before checking the oil level to ensure an accurate reading.
It's also important to use fresh oil and avoid using old oil. Oil can degrade over time, losing its ability to lubricate and protect the engine. Also, it's recommended to use oil that is specifically formulated for use in air-cooled four-stroke engines.
In summary, According to the owner's manual of the Troy-Bilt TB320, the mower is designed to use SAE 30 weight oil with a API service classification of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher. SAE 30 weight oil is a standard grade of oil that is commonly used in small engines such as those found in lawn mowers. The API service classification refers to the level of performance and protection provided by the oil. It is recommended to use a detergent oil with an API service classification of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher, fresh oil and avoid using old oil and use oil that is specifically formulated for use in air-cooled four-stroke engines, also the oil level should be checked before each use of the mower and should be changed at least once a year, or after every 50 hours of use, whichever comes first.
