      1.0 litre (1.06qt) of SAE 30 for that 8HP. I have the same engine and just did an oil change. That amount took it up to the full mark.

    Wish you lived closer to me I’d be interested in that engine I need a replacement for my 1980s Murray I priced out the cost in parts and I found that it would cost more money in parts than it is worth to fix The opposed twin engine that it originally came with. Would love to replace it with a V twin but I think it would run just fine with an 8 hp Briggs even though it originally was 18 hp Briggs I don’t see why an 8 hp Briggs couldn’t power that
