Simpson PowerShot Commercial-Duty Gas Powered Pressure Washer 3200 PSI @ 3 GPM Honda GX270 Engine And 50' MONSTER Hose #PS3200 Questions & Answers
How many ounces or quarts of oil do you put in the
Power washer needs oil 2 places.
The pump head has a plastic window on side of pump. Oil should fill to middle of that window. Pump should have 20 or 30 weight NON detergent oil. SAE20 SAE 30 I believe. Auto parts store will know which is NON detergent.
The engine oil is ordinary 10W30. We used to change oil after each painting season by tilting engine to the side.
Do not turn engine on it's side or upside down or oil will run into carburetor.
I don't remember exactly how many quarts we put back. Maybe 2? Fill up reservoir until oil is about half-way up dip stick.

How do I remove wheel?
You first have to pry the cap off the wheel with a screwdriver then under the cap there should be either a pin which you pry off or a nut which you loosen.

No oil is required for the pump.
10W-30 is normally specified for a Honda GCV160-GCV190 engine. You drain the oil by removing the oil cap/dipstick and then tilting the machine on it's side so that the oil can drain out if the oil fill into a container. (Drain when warm so it flows easily).
The capacity of the engine is ~18.6 oz. Refill amount is ~12.0-13.5 oz. (either engine).
When refilling, add oil and check on dipstick often. To check, press the dipstick into the oil fill, but DO NOT SCREW IT DOWN. Just insert the dipstick in until it contacts the top of the oil fill. The correct reading is between the lower and upper limits marked on the dipstick. (You may have to look carefully to see the marks).
