I use Amsoil Saber in my Stihl backpack blower year round in temperatures below freezing. I miss it at 2oz per gallon which is 64:1 (128 ounces of gas divided by 2 ounces of oil). Starts great, runs great. I do let the blower idle for a minute or so when temps are colder than 40f or so and then...

I have the same mower. I run Rotella T5 in 10W-30. The first few changes I made were with low hours, ~5 hours to clean out any metal from break-in and manufacturing.

Shell Rotella T5 should meet all of your needs. I run it in my Honda GCV-190 and change it 1-2 times per year. I have an hour meter on mine and typically change every 15 hours or so because that just seems to be convenient for me. Oil changes take 5-10 minutes and use ~14 oz of oil so cost is...

I use Mobil 1 in my Harbor Freight trailer. I've had the trailer since ~2000 or so. I have replaced the Chinese bearings with Timken parts and new seals due to pitting on the Chinese bearings. I use the trailer for the following: Mulch and compost (Heaviest loads) Lawn and garden rental...

I went this far blindly based on fellow forum users. Admittedly I changed out the 0W-20 for 5W-20 M1 EP on this OC. Probably for no good reason after seeing this report. I felt that the oil consumption might reduce or stop. Any feedback on that point?

I run Rotella T5 10-30W in my HRX and all other small engines. I changed the oil a few times at short intervals when braking in since there is no filter and wanted to remove particulate from the lubrication system. I think I change the oil at hours 2, 5, 10 before going to longer intervals...

I run Stihl Synthetic (Silver Bottle) in a Stihl backpack blower and string trimmer. It's just easy with 1 gallon bottles and the cost difference between the lesser grades doesn't concern me.

As Buck91 said, I don't see anything special about this. I have a can of their red spray grease kicking around on one of my shelves. I like that product unless you really need the white lithium.

The material in the oil that I am more concerned with are wear metals, shavings and machining particles found at higher levels during early engine life during break in. I understand the whole unnecessary oil change principle but when an oil change takes all of 10 minutes and costs $1.50 I...

Thanks for the great feedback everybody and awesome photo Hokiefyd! On these unfiltered lubrication systems I'm probably more likely to change the oil on shorter intervals just for particle removal rather than oil life issues.

I recently purchased a new mower and went with a Honda HRX217HYA. I'm really happy with the mower and want to take good care of it. The manual calls for 10W-30 or 5W-30. I am looking at the following oils for this machine: Mobil 1 10W-30 Shell Rotella T5 10W-30 Semi-Synthetic because I have...
