thanks
they've got straight 30wt at dollar general...no additives or detergents in it.
Can the OP clarify if its for the engine or pump. I like Amsoil 4-Stroke for all my OPE engines.
For the pump, need to look at the manual. AR vertical pumps say no oil changes unless you are repairing it. And then its a special AR pump oil. Others are different.

Yes, most pressure washer pumps will have a small fill bolt (sometimes plastic) to empty and fill the pump oil. I use Briggs and Stratton synthetic pump oil found at any place that sells lawn mower parts. It has worked well so far.
Many pressure washers require you to change the pump oil after the first 5 hours or so of operation.
