It's not new car day, but a good day anyway. I use my mower more often than I drive some of our cars. I got my first HRX in 2009. It's been 100% reliable and still runs perfectly. Given the ban of gasoline OPE in California, as well as Honda leaving the OPE market, I bought a new HRX last Saturday. Between he two of the I'll never need a new mower for the rest of my life.
In true Bitog fashion, Honda says to change the oil after the first 5 hours. I changed it after mowing the yards today, about an hour's worth of run time. I used Honda 10W-30 OPE oil in the 12 ounce bottle. I'll change it again in a month. After that I'll do my usual bi-annual change using Redline 5W-20.
