Leave it. I ran some Amsoil small engine in a zero turn with a newer air-cooled Kohler one time. I dumped the oil at a little under100 hours and it looked amazing! Not an Amsoil fanboy or anything, but was impressed that it barely looked used.

Ya, actually sold both bikes. The only scooter I am maintaining now is my wife's Honda Ruckus.

Just picked up 4 jugs of the 10w30 all fleet @ $5.53 tonight here in Central Illinois.

How old is this oil? My grandfather moving to a nursing home and found it while cleaning his garage. What would you do with it?

I put news tires on them last year. Yes, I have owned them since the early 90's (paid an old farmer $180 & $200, respectively, for them), and have had them licensed and insured off and on.

I have '81 and an '82 Honda C70's. I don't know alot about motorcycles, and can't find very specific information online about the oil in these bikes. The repair manual says to use Honda 4 stroke oil SAE 10w40 or equivalent. I realize these bikes are pretty tough and will probably run on just...

Sorry, this is a water-cooler engine. I mistyped that in my original post.

This is a family members tractor that does not get serviced regularly. I am working from home because of the Covid, and am servicing many of my family's mowers and cars with my extra time. I usually run a 10w30 hdeo oil on my personal OPE, but had a jug of the Mobil 0w40 and went with that on...

How is the battery pack life ? Unknown. Can this be checked? This was the choice of my high school boy. I suggested a 4 cylinder Accord. Wasn't my money, so let him go with the CRZ. May end up being a life lesson.
