Handyman

The instruction manual of the Honda GC190 motor mention to use 10W-30 or 30 four stroke oil, but it is not available in the stores. Can I use regular motor oil instead for the pressure washer.

Answer
h.d. is regular oil . h.d. stands for high detergent it has a cleaning agent added to it . To answer your question it wont hurt but it can void your warranty. When i tried to get Honda to fix my a.t.v.under warranty the first thing they wonted was serves records and oil purchase recipe. I did not keep receipt,did not get a.t.v. fixed. That's a fact. If you are under warranty stick to m.s..

What is the best pressure washer UNDER $300?

Due to an old roomates German Shepard, and his propensity to scratch, urinate and deficate on my deck, I have to pressure wash it before resealing it, and I also need to pressure wash the patio beneath it. This gives me an excuse to buy a pressure washer. I know nothing about these things so... What is the best model under $300 that will take care of buisness?

Answer
Karcher 2400 PSI, Honda gas powered, from Costco, $299. Sorry, it seems that this model is no longer made. A co-worker recommended this model and I've been extremely satisfied. The electric models are not much better than a good high pressure hose nozzle. The closest I can find is Karcher 2500 PSI Pressure Washer w/ Honda Engine $399.99
