Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I inherited my late father's Generac Pressure washer model 1460 and I'd like to change oil and do a little maintenance on the thing.

I've found the owner's manual online here: http://www.generac-portables.com/data/pdf_files/pw/1460_0en2w.pdf

But it doesn't give any specifics on the engine (in fact, the part number on the engine is "NSP", which I assume means "No Specific Part"). I know its a Honda 5.0, horizontal shaft, probably a consumer engine, but I don't know about the oil capacity, or anything else about it. Any ideas on this? Thanks for any help.

Hi Tom,

I did some research today. I have some good news for you.  Your engine model is a Honda GC160, it takes .61qt of oil. You can find more info about your engine  at  Honda outdoor web page just look up engines and your model.  For all other info on parts to your washer you can go to  www.ppe-pressure-washer-parts.com/generac-pressure-washer-model-1460-0-parts  .   They list everything for your pressure washer. I hope that helps

Thanks. I just went out to the garage and as you said, its a GC160. I'm usually pretty observant. I don't know how I missed the GC160 on the rope cover.
