Favorite Oil Brand for OPE

[BMW Dom]

What's your guys favorite oil brand for OPE that is available in 10w-30 full synthetic (Mobil 1, Supertech, Quaker State, Pennzoil, Valvloline) and Amsoil is not worth it for me, so if that is your favorite, what is your second favorite brand?

I use what ever is left over from my vehicle changes and it usually is 5W- 40 from the tractor oil changes. I have used 5W-30 though.

Pennzoil 10w30

The left over oil from my cars oil changes is my favorite. My mower currently has a mix of; 5w-30 Shell Rotella Gas truck, 10w-40 Quaker state HM, and 15w-40 Mobil Delvac.

I use just about everything. I do like 10w30 Magnatec in various large ZT's
ST will run with the best of them too.

My mowers get what my cars get - Havoline Conventional 5w30. When I go through my stash, I'll switch over to Havoline Pro-DS Full Synthetic 5w30.

I'm another one in the 'whatever I have around' camp. I've had no-name 5w-30 semi synthetic in my 24hp Briggs intek for around 40 hours (2 years) now with 0 smoke or consumption. I had never run 5w-30 but it doesn't seem to mind it at all. I will probably go with a 15w-40 for the next run since I have some in the stash. I've got a Fram Ultra XG3614 on there and I've been wondering how long to leave it on. I"m leaning towards 100 hrs.

Amsoil small engine oil.

 

[OilReport99]

Not full synthetic but any HDEO 10W-30 is a good option.

 

[gathermewool]

RT5 15W-40 for the mower and pressure washer

RT6 5W-40 for the snowblower and generator

50:1 Trufuel in all of my 2-stroke OPE

The basic MC 910's I have run out for 100 hrs on a 33hp Kohler and it looked like new
You could leave that XG3614 on forever. I ran the exact filter for 27,000 miles on a Cmax- I planned on 24K but had to extend for bad reasons-lol

How many decades between OCI?

How many decades between OCI?

its not advertised as an extended drain oil. Amsoil says to run the OCI at manufacturers recommended hours.

Its $7.35 a quart.

Mobil 1 10w-30 High Mileage with 3.5 HTHS viscosity.

 

[ZebRuaj]

Where are you purchasing this oil?

 

[Oildudeny]

Whatever is on sale. Usually it’s super tech or Napa full synthetic. 5w30 works great for my mower, snow blower and generator. There’s times formula shell and others make it in the sump. The backpack blower usually gets on sale synthetic 2-stroke oil
