Are Walmart Supertech oil filters ok to use? What about Fram PH series filters? Just curious. The Fram are like $3.xx and the Supertech are $2.8x. Are they alright to use?

I always thought that I am supposed to store my small engines with no fuel in them. I read the directions on the fuel stabilizer container and it said to store the small engines with stabilized fuel in them. Which is correct?

Dang, thanks guys! Guess I'll just go 40:1 then!

I have a gallon of it (or whatever the big jug is) that I got for dirt cheap from somewhere I cant even remember. Anyway, whats it for? Is it used like seafoam?

Thanks guys, I definitely appreciate the information...puts my mind at ease. I dont even think there is instructions on the bottle. Would I use the 3.2oz mark? Also, does it matter that its labeled "weed eater" oil? That seems really dumb to me because isn't 2-cycle oil just 2-cycle oil?

This is gonna sound stupid but I have 40:1 2-cycle oil mix and I was wondering if I can just add less in to make it 50:1 (which is what I need)? I have this stuff: https://www.menards.com/main/tools/...-19-6-oz/2309/p-1487748027995-c-9112.htm It says it's for weed eaters but I'm not sure that...

I have a Stihl chainsaw and have heard their trimmers are amazing so I'd go stihl. I have a Troy Bilt 4 cycle and while it (surprisingly) starts up and works just fine, it can get very heavy...and I'm not even weak or anything. It just gets really freaking heavy as you walk around with it.

Took the oil after running it again and now both holes are filled. I think its not supposed to be measured hot though. This is ridiculous haha.

Alright, I emptied a bit out. Now only one of the holes fills up. I've tested it probably 5-10 times. I'm gonna just stay with what i've got haha. The dipstick does still get oil above the second hole but the second hole is not filled up, only the first hole is. So i'm assuming I've got this...

I'll go ahead and do that, thanks all. I honestly feel like I put less than 1.5qts in there but who knows haha.

Its a John Deere D105 small riding mower. Here are 4 pictures (https://imgur.com/a/b0Ltbe6)--first two are with the dipstick/cap pushed in and twisted shut, and the second two are with the dipstick/cap pushed in but not twisted shut. I did run the engine for about 10 minutes before these images...

Thanks all! Two last questions: should I use synthetic or regular oil? Honestly all of the oil recommendations they give cover the temps id mow in so...which is best? I've got 5w-30 on hand. Oil types

Wow, thanks for the info everyone! For future reference, is Fram better than super tech or should I just save ~$1 and go with super tech? I've not seen the Wix brand around here anywhere. Is it sold in auto stores?

I searched the forums and apparently the fram ph8170 is an alternative but I can't find it near me. The PH3614 is readily available as is the super tech st3614. I bought the PH3614 but haven't yet installed it. Is that ok to use for a John Deere D105 mower? Should I get something else? Is the...
