Can you still get parts for Briggs & Stratton engines?
Yes. We still offer replacement parts for Briggs lawn and garden engines, including the Briggs 28M707-0126-01. The best match comes from using your full engine model and type code, then selecting the exact part from the parts list for your engine.
The easiest way to get the right part
- Match the full model number exactly: 28M707-0126-01.
- If your engine tag also lists a type and code, use those too (they narrow down revisions).
- Compare the old part to the listing (shape, mounting holes, connector style, and hose size).
- Replace common maintenance items together (air filter, fuel filter, oil filter) to prevent repeat issues.
- If the engine runs poorly after storage, start with fuel system basics before replacing ignition parts.

What kind of oil does a 28M707-0126-01 take?
For the Briggs & Stratton 28M707-0126-01 lawn and garden engine, we use SAE 30 for typical warm-weather mowing, or 10W-30 when temperatures vary and you want easier starting in cooler weather. Fill only to the FULL mark on the dipstick on level ground; do not overfill.
Recommended oil types
- SAE 30: Best for consistently warm outdoor temperatures
- 10W-30: Good all-around choice for changing temperatures
- Synthetic 5W-30: Helps with cold starts and provides strong high-heat protection
How much oil does it take?
Oil capacity varies by the exact engine configuration and oil change method. We use the dipstick as the final authority: add oil slowly and stop at the FULL mark with the engine level.
Quick fill checklist
- Park on a flat surface and let the engine cool
- Drain old oil completely, then reinstall the drain plug securely
- Add oil in small amounts, checking the dipstick often
- Stop at the FULL mark (not above it)
- Run the engine briefly, shut it off, then recheck and top off if needed
Why it matters
Correct viscosity and oil level protect internal parts like the crankshaft and connecting rod under load. Low oil causes overheating and rapid wear; overfilling can cause smoking, plug fouling, and hard starting.
