30 Non-Detergent question

The pump on me power washer calls for 30w non-detergent oil. Can't find a bottle marked "non-detergent". Is there some other way to tell?

AKA HD30. Look on the back of the bottle, it will say recomended for air compressors, lawn mowers, etc. Also try 30wt lawn mower oil.

I get it at Autozone, Coastal brand. It is not the same as HD30, that has detergents. It is used in my air compressor and chainsaw bar oiler.

NAPA carries a 30 wt non-detergent also.
Look for the API designation *SB*.

30 Non-Detergent question

Don't know if they still do this, but back when I worried about such things, many oil companies sold "racing oil". The one I used(Valvoline) said non-detergent.

So maybe modern racing oils are still non-detergent. Worth a look at the lable anyway.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 01-12-03 AT 08:03 PM (EST)]One of the dirt cheap walmart brands is also a non-detergent.
The thread here (BrianA's Cheap oil test thread has it in there somewhere.)

Edit: I found it, it's "Genuine" brand non-D oil.
