In the past I've noticed that small air cooled small engines always used a good bit of oil the first 50 hours of use. I've noticed that both my new mower that has a 15hp Kawasaki engine and my Honda generator both haven't used a drop since new. In the past I've noticed small engines have always used a good bit of oil for the first 20-50hrs on the engine, but these two haven't used any. I'm curious as to why that is? Is it cause they both are quality engines with cast iron sleeves or do you think it's cause they both were put under a good load in the beginning?
