I wouldn't do it. I'd go with a solid 30 pounder or a 10 pounder. Thick oils don't work well with splash-type oiling systems.
Technically, yes, but I would double-check the bike's manufacturer's specifications before using it.
I'm guessing yes. Briggs suggests this oil. They're not likely to recommend oil that isn't up to par.

The problem has been reported to Amazon, and they have been given instructions on how to resolve it. The oil arrived quickly and in perfect condition. The seller responded quickly and was upfront about the problem. I'll do business with you again. This oil is excellent for lawn mower engines and contains zinc. It's in my Kawasaki 850v and Vanguard 37HP EFI motorcycles, as well as my Briggs 24HP John Deere lawn mower. When I use Vanguard 15w50, my mowers don't seem to use much oil. Filters should be changed every time you change your oil because they are inexpensive insurance. (I wouldn't use this oil on a sport bike because it could cause the clutch to slip. ).
Small engines will love this oil. Zinc is added to the full synthetic to reduce wear. That is why it is superior to car engine oil. Because of catalytic converter damage, car engine oil cannot contain zinc. Small engines should last a long time with regular oil changes using this. 15w- 50 is also excellent for keeping you cool in the summer.
Briggs is most likely to hit a home run. Stratton. They forgot to put an aluminum seal on the bottle pour spout. br> oil spilled into the shipping boxbr> I'd gladly pay a few cents more for a full, dry, and clean bottle!.
I recently purchased a new Toro mower, and after reading through all of the documentation for Briggs motors, I discovered that this is the oil that they recommend. There's no need to overpay for Toro. when this is far less expensive and does an excellent job of protecting your engine. It was a simple choice.
I've been using a gx390 in my commercial pressure washer to run this. Running and air-conditioning A heavy duty motor oil is required when the machine is cooled for hours on end with the door wide open in temperatures of 100 degrees. This gets the job done and doesn't get too thick in temperatures as low as 30°F. The temperature is 40 degrees.
Although it is expensive, it is worth it.
According to the owner's manual, this should be used in my Spartan SRT HD with Vanguard 37hp efi. br>I wish I knew the brand or make of this oil because, according to what I've heard, Briggs and Stratton does not own any oil refineries.
This oil has worked well for me in the past. Because the standard 1quart bottles were unavailable, I decided to go with the larger option. The jug leaked during shipping, as shown in the photo. It leaked so much that it spilled out of the bag and soaked the box. The jug was only supposed to do one thing, and it failed miserably.
