20 hp Briggs and Stratton Vanguard I installed 5 years ago for a repower. Drained some fairly clean oil but I removed the original oil filter!!!! Refilled with Delvac and a Microgard filter.
I adjusted the valves on all 3 engines. Changed the hydro fluid on all 3. Drained the existing fluid and removed Wright Stander filters. Refilled with M1 15/50 and an Oregon filter. Replaced fuel filters also.

Honda pressure washer. Out Mobil 1630 after first 5 hours. In Mobil. Found an extension tube/funnel on Amazon for the Honda generator family to help those changes stay clean, it fits perfectly on Honda OPE 160 family and keeps the oil off the unit when changing.
