Lubrication
The Oil Grades Chart as shown in the HU775H Manual. Do not let the temperature arrows fool you into believing that a 5W30 oil is only to be used in below freezing temperatures. A good quality Synthetic 5W30 will do nearly all climates.
SAE 30 Oils – Typical lawn mower oil sold by shops and probably sufficient to do the job. 5W30 Oils – Better flow and viscosity at low temps.
Reducing engine wear and tear and guaranteeing good lubrication on start up is paramount to a long engine life.
Frequent changing of oil, especially in small, high revving engines (3000 RPM, all the time!) makes sense. Do not let anyone tell you that “a Synthetic 5W30 Oil will make your engine leak“. Regular mineral oil just simply gums up your engine and hides the leaks already present. Run high quality synthetic oils (such as Mobil 1 Synthetic 5W30) and your engine will run happier and cleaner.
The graphic used on the Briggs & Stratton website leaves fewer questions about the versatility of Synthetic 5W30 oils. It becomes apparent where the other lubricants fall short and clearly, the 5W30 mineral oil will have a tendency to burn faster during hot summer work. Husqvarna offers its own Synthetic Oil, as well.
Winter Storage – Engine Care
Mowers in colder climates spend lots of time in storage. Besides proper fuel balancing (better yet, with the onset of E10 fuel you should run the engine dry) it is important to pickle the engine prior to storage. Pickling the B&S 175cc engine requires the removal of the spark plug before squirting a few drops of oil into the spark plug hole. The engine is then slowly cranked a few times. These days, we can use pickling sprays (better distribution) which will put a more even coat of lubricant on the walls of the cylinder. This reduces the building of corrosion and preps the little fire breather for a long winter. Replacing the spark plug and air filter at that time as well as changing the oil – will set your Husqvarna HU775H up for the next season. Starting on first pull, with everything working just fine, instead of a aggravated trip to the shop/ dealer, where people will tell you to PLEASE read the owners manual. Mistreating a machine isn’t covered under warranty.
