You can use sae 30 in the motor and hydraulic oil or gear oil in the pump.
just note that there may be two oil filler holes on the motor.
Testimonial: "Thank you very much for verifying the oil for me."
Hello,
There are 3 places to add oil on most pressure washers. The engine will have two fill ports on the base of the case, one black which is just a plug, the other grey which is a dipstick. The pump should have a single port at the top of the pump housing. Honda recommends 30wt detergent motor oil for their engines. All modern crankcase pumps will use SAE 30 non-detergent oil. Using gear oil or hydraulic oil will cause excess heat in the pump and could cause premature failure of the rods and or crankshaft bearings.
Sincerely,
Aron Kerr
