    Can i use motorcycle oil in my small tecumseh, Honda, and kohler engine?

    I just sold a Honda 250 that took 10-40 Dino m c oil, Castrol I think. My 3 garden engines takes 10-30. Is the 10-40 m c oil going to cause any problems? I use synthetic in my other bike so I have no need for it. I'm guessing small engines are more forgiving than our sophisticated car engines.
