It's very similar to a Honda commercial GXV160. Yes its made in China and is a clone engine. It is a durable engine, parts are readily available and not too expensive. The engine has a life span about 3 times that of an average aluminum bore Briggs per manufactures testing.
Don't worry about the engine oil being low. As long as it starts and runs fine and doesn't smoke the engine will be fine.
