I like to use a good synthetic. I used Amsoil small engine oil 10w-30 in my old lawn mower 550cc single cylinder Briggs. They have know head gasket issues. I felt a good synthetic oil would prevent it going bad. I bought the mower with the gasket that was bad. Mower smoked like crazy...

I have been just using the Amsoil water resistant grease in my Honda brush cutter. I have never rebuilt it, just inject every once in awhile. I did cut a crud load of blackberry bushes here about a month ago. I worked it hard. Hopefully I don't shear the gears.........

Just an FYI, Amsoil does make lubes for wind turbines. But they are certainly not close to any of the automotive lubes in formulation. :giggle:

I was going to saying if that was the case........................ That is usually a sign of a company going bankrupt.......:giggle: I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Any bypass filter will only filter a small percentage of oil. Maybe up to 10%. Depends on engine/oil pump, volume/pressure, and bypass orifice size.

Nice one Amsoil!

Is the Costco oil better, or is the Mobil 1 worse........ that is the question?;)

I would flush it probably 3 times if I had done the wrong fluid. Then run with it.

I started at Everett, WA Boeing plant in 97. I wondered why I would see people that looked like they had family members that passed away. Years later I realized why. I worked on floor frames of the 747. I hated it. I never went back after my layoff. I was hired at the end of the hiring boom, and...

parktool.com Should have all specs there. You might have not seen my above post. Good luck.

When I was working on bikes a lot the Park bike tool website had procedures for just about any bike. It is what I used when I needed advice etc. Just checked, still there. parktool.com

Yah, must be a typo.

I saw the episode of Mysteries at the Museum. People did not want to ride elevators, until a safety innovation could prevent them falling down. He had to prove that to the public at the event. Then elevators took off.

Sounds like an over spender...... I think that will be the last time she gives money like that. The check is probably made of rubber. Did the lady at least thank the giver?

Just peaks my curiosity why Kawasaki would say 550? It seems to crank at a decent speed.

I have used the Amsoil 100% propylene for 20yrs ish. I kind of forget the exact timeline. I started running Sierra propylene at some point, I believe early 90s. I then started using the Amsoil version which was purple. They changed the formulation to this new one ANT. I like the propylene for 2...

I had a LawnBoy self-propelled walk behind when I move into the house I'm in. I live on 2.5 acres. I probably mow about 1 1/4 acre grass. It would take me 8hrs ish sometimes. I have a lot of moisture in the lawn at times. I live in the NW. Also leaves are a big problem. Prehistoric size maple...

I noticed in the Kawasaki engine manual 550 cca battery required. Seems strange, because that is what some cars require. The battery from the factory on my Husqavarna TS354XD has a 230 cca batt. I think it is a U1. I just wonder how Kawasaki came with the 550 cca in the manual? I feel the...

Brain vs brawn:)

Is that France, England, and Germany? Maybe Costco had my tires shipped over to the US in 2020 when covid was happening........:oops:
