Honda capacity typo

Found a honda document where they reversed oil capacity for fuel capacity for the gcv160. Glad I second guessed them

Interesting. Remember the days that they used to include a 12 ounce bottle of oil in the crate with the HRR's? Spoiler: they didn't have 6.5 ounces of oil in the crankcase also...

Hate to remind everyone all manuals contains errors. This why we must take all info with a grain of salt and use our best judgement of the facts presented.

And we are all presented other info that must filtered through the same way. Just because it is presented as fact doesn't always make it true.

This why when I find errors in a service manual I have I make corrections and then upload the corrected manual to my Google and One Drives Just recently made changes to the Briggs Single OHV manual where some measurements were reversed on the counter weight journals.
The truest measure of society is the how it treats its elderly, its pets, and its prisoners.

My clue was gcv160 taking .93l oil and right next the gcv190 taking .55l
