What oil be replaced for karcher 520 m - Karcher Garden

Hi Graeme:
If I'm thinking correctly, the hose and gun are really not restricted by manufacturer as long as they are appropriate for the pressure that the unit produces.
Where I am (west coast of Canada) an equipment supplier called LORDCO has a huge selection of pressure washing accessories.
I would think that a similar business in Glasgow would be able to assist you.
Slanja va!

you mean water in the pump oil ??? or engine oil ???



im suspecting pump oil... you didn\'t seal it properly or you have a crack somewhere in the main housing. rarely is it viable to repair these pumps... if you search a little you can find replacements pretty damn cheap !!!

you need to know where oil is coming from. pump or motor? both will use normal motor oil

You should watch the video on this blog. This is a very common problem, because the original gun/wand on many pressure washers is the same! However, Prism Teachings observed something that you should know about its design: http://electricreplacementgun.blogspot.com/

Karcher pumps use 15-40w oil. Most likely about 3.5 ounces. If however you live in a moderate climate, 30w will be fine. Only need multy vis. oils when temp varies qu ite a bit. Black oil means that it was very dirty. Good luck

If you are talking about the oil in the pump then it should be 10W30 but must be NON DETERGENT. Remember the reservoir should only be 1/3 full

small engine shop should be able to obtain the proper gasket for you.....oil 20 weight fill untill you can see it at the bottom of the threads at the whole you pour it into!

It sounds like you are referring to the oil in the swash plate housing. You can use a multi grade motor oil such as 20w50 or 10w40. Fill to about half way over the swash plate. If the old oil has gone amilky colour, please replace the oil seals first.

If your discussing the crankcase, you can use regular non detergent SAE 30 wt. Do not use the new types of oil as they have additives that may cause harm to the engine.
