SG is usually one of my top 3 places for ammo. Overall great prices and shipping is usually free. However post pandemic the email newsletter doom and gloom every other week is just too much for me. It's just annoying.
New 2026 Toro Super Recycler 163cc Briggs & Stratton 3 hours of run time on factory fill SAE 30. Used oil looks awful from breaking in. No oil changes only top off's claimed by the OEM :poop:.

Torx Plus has been around for atleast a couple decades. Fun fact Torx Plus is the official fastener of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Superior to regular Torx or old fashion bit types. It will show up eventually in the car world but it’s very popular in other fields.
Why not run the 5w30 version Amsoil makes of the same exact oil? I thought they made it due to so many requests from poor 0w20 samples.

Amsoil XL 10w40 is very robust. On paper much better than the 5w50 SS. I did some research on a similar scenario for a friend classic car. HTHS and CST.
Only brand I’ll buy from now on. Make sure you only buy fromhttps://wcbatteries.com/ to ensure fresh battery and not NOS. Absolutely love the performance.
Zero oil burn. In fact I’d say oil level rises 2-3mm from fuel. Once my XL stash burns up next year it’s going over to Amsoil Signature 0w40. I can then probably do once a year 6-8k changes. Let’s see.
These 2020+ Subaru engines are fuel diluting monsters. Although the oil is more than capable of running 5k I prefer not to linger into a sheared down 20 weight viscosity. This was a winter run and wreaked fuel.
Here’s a flawless PGI filter as usual. 6 months/ 3500 miles on my 2021 Subaru Outback 2.5L 48.3k Miles using Amsoil Extended Life 5w30. I’ll swap to proper PG4615EX when a handful of the smaller 4612’s run out. Hopefully the 4615 is more readily available by then.

Here’s my spring oil change for the Subaru. I have several quarts of Amsoil XL 10w30 I’m burning through from a cheap market place haul. I’m still using smaller filter too with slightly lower bypass psi Got 4 left to burn before going to proper size. 6 pack price on eBay to hard to pass up...
