Yep. When it's -20F or +115F ambient, I do not want to be changing oil. Choose wisely.

This. Problem solved.

Why do the two tables list the items in varying order? Perhaps a mis-print on their part? It's all the same stuff, except for the label that is applied to the jug. It's a "single fill station" that then diverts jugs to two label machines. ;)

Any filter that fits would be a recommendation other than the one you specified ;)

When vehicles become overly techy with countless sensors & monitors........... Sell it, and then buy a better hassle-free vehicle ;)

Hello, with covid out in various strains, "click & buy" is it right now, WORLDWIDE !

Castrol has a 5-40 in jugs on shelf at stores.

Why does it need a 0-40?

They have Mobil1 and Pennzoil too ;)

I thought it was more about water condensation, so letting it idle at temp for a bit will allow the water to vaporize off. Not sure what you mean by "really heat up". Operating temp is operating temp, no? And won't the engine actually be a bit hotter when not driving it?

Yikes.

When have you seen moly accumulating in the crankcase? LM oil is sold and used quite a bit. If there was moly accumulating people would know about it real fast and you would have a ton of vids showing it.

Just 15% off? They should be smart enough to know when you are buying for yourself, and then give you the stuff for free !

What exactly does a cheap filter filter when it decides to bypass for no good reason? Better filtering does not mean inadequate flow. "A filter filled with cement makes a great filter, and a dead engine" - Nakamichi 1972

A Briggs-Stratton engine will run almost forever on any type of motor oil. Filtration is key for modern engines. For older engines, beefy parts and loose tolerances and low rpm will make it run forever. How many old tractor engines from 1930's still run today on OEM hardware?
