Do you use 4 cycle oil or 2 cycle oil for pressure washer EXH2425?

Question moved from Cars and Trucks Category.

There is too much missing from this question to answer.

Make model of pressure washer and the make and model of the engine, presumably gas powered, 2 stroke engine or 4 stroke.

Where did you put the 2 cycle oil?? If it is in the crankcase, oil is oil.

Carburetors can't exhale white smoke, they are a sucking device, they suck air in.

try cleaning the blockage out of the jet at the wand end

Pump gets anti freeze for winter. 4-cycl motor gets the oil called for in the manual. 2-cycles get oil in the gas.

did you pull the spark plug out and clean it ? if you did , did you also put the starter cord and turn the motor over without the plug installed to get rid of the 2-cycle oil out of the cylinder ? if not do so.

It could be the valve(s)

If you are asking about the oil for the gasoline engine then you can use a 30 weight engine oil like you would use in a car engine. Pressure washer pumps use a special non-detergent oil which is not the same as the engine uses.

To evacuated the oil from what I believe is the gas cap area, you are going to need some type of a siphon pump to remove the oil. A total engine tear down might be needed depending on where all the oil is. Remove the spark plug, and turn the engine over, if you are getting oil coming out the spark plug hole, then you are going to have to either tear down the engine, or leave the engine sitting in a way that you can drain all of the oil out of the system.If no oil comes out of the spark plug hole, then you should be good to go once you siphon out all the oil

No it is a 4 cycle engine and does not use mixed gasoline.

Pressure washer oil

I took this picture of my power washer so it's easy to explain the oil.
The oil is different for engine and pump.

The pump oil is 20 or 30 weight non-detergent. SAE20 or SAE30 motor oil. The level of the oil comes up about half way. There is a plastic viewport on side of pump ... oil comes up half way on viewport.

The engine oil is 10W30 motor oil. It comes up about half way or a bit more on dipstick.

To remove oil from pressure washer, do not turn engine on it's side or turn engine upside down or motor oil will run into the carburetor. You might wonder how I know that. Afterward, the carburetor needs to be cleaned out.

To remove oil, you can tip engine to the side but not so much that oil runs up into top part ... to remove the rest of the oil, you can use a plastic hose

If your engine has a place to put oil, then your power washer uses ordinary gasoline.
The only type engine that uses 2-cycle oil and gas mixture is engine that has no place to put oil.

Oil for pump comes half way up >>> pump uses SAE20 or SAE 30 non-detergent motor oil
Oil for engine comes half way up dip stick and uses 10-W30 motor oil
