    Engine hydraulic & backfiring probs

    Check the valve lash and remove the spark arrestor if it has one…. Change the spark plug to the appropriate NGK brand too.

    Get some grease from your Honda dealer if it really matters to you. What parts are you greasing anyways?

    AGAIN...what's the 'best' engine oil for me?

    So you were incorrect, I guess….the “completely” part anyways 🥴

    AGAIN...what's the 'best' engine oil for me?

    Not too many gasser turbos in 1985. Maybe you’ve never heard of coked Turbos…. Insufficient Warm-up/Cool-down: Rapid engine shutdown after high-speed operation can cause oil to overheat and coke in the turbocharger.

    AGAIN...what's the 'best' engine oil for me?

    I agree with Mephy above. If I can add one other thing….make sure that TIME isn’t an issue either. Let the engine idle for a minute or so before shutdown, giving the turbos time to spool down so that they’re not starved of oil if they’re still spinning aggressively. Good habit for any turboed...

    Oil for Kohler 20RCA generator - says fully synthetic API 5W-30 rated SG SH or SJ

    The specified oil spec for my area temps is full synthetic 5W-30 with API Grade SG,SH or SJ. https://www.lowes.com/pd/MAG-1-Mag-1-10W30-CK4-H-D-Diesel-Oil-2-5-Gal/5001933103 “Pretty much any 30/40 grade will do.“ Well not really….it might be a great diesel oil for the price, but doesn’t meet...

    Amsoil Saber advice please

    I’ve been running Saber back when it was called 100/1, so well over 25 years. My sled racing buddies would get some from me and run a race mix usually around 80:1. Currently using Saber in my Stihl/Echo saws and never any issue. 😉

    Milwaukee Fuel Chainsaw leaking oil like crazy

    Most saws have an adjustment screw to the bar oil system. Close that after use, if there is an adjustment screw, and see if that makes a difference… Just remember to open it up the next time you use the saw.

    Anybody run Amsoil ATH AMSOIL 5W-30 Tractor Hydraulic/Transmission Oil

    Currently only have about 30 hours on the ATH in the X390, but it seems to work good. I was surprised how hot the axle case feels after mowing for just over an hour and wonder why a heavier oil isn’t required. Glad I’ve installed a quality synthetic to help it last…

    Anybody run Amsoil ATH AMSOIL 5W-30 Tractor Hydraulic/Transmission Oil

    The JD X390 has the Tuff Torque K58 and is fully serviceable with a replaceable filter. It also uses the same hydraulic system to provide power steering and to lift/lower the deck. I used the same ATH for a 1997 Troybilt 16hp Lawn tractor. That transmission wasn’t meant to be serviced ever, but...

    Anybody run Amsoil ATH AMSOIL 5W-30 Tractor Hydraulic/Transmission Oil

    Amsoil ATH is a Very good oil. I’m running it in my Kioti CK30HST since the first change and now have 650 hours on the oil. I did change both filters at 450 hours and topped off the oil. Plan to run to 1000 and then full change unless I do a UOA first. I’m in Ontario Canada and the hydraulics...
