Used 5w-30 more than once. I used my left over top off oil for this. After over 15 year the mower is still running and imagine not one written complaint.
Going to dump that out for Castrol or Mobil xW-30 that meets A3/B3 or Mercedes/VW specs. I’m sure my stash of PP/Edge would work too but that small engine could appreciate a little more ZDDP.
You can also run T4 10W-30.I have O’Reilly 10W-30 in a GCV160. Going to dump that out for Castrol or Mobil xW-30 that meets A3/B3 or Mercedes/VW specs. I’m sure my stash of PP/Edge would work too but that small engine could appreciate a little more ZDDP.
Good point - and cheaper too.You can also run T4 10W-30.
Good stuff inside...Good point - and cheaper too.
Changing the oil at the right time will do more to prolong the life of your engine, not using synthetic.Curious if those who own a Honda mower with GCV190 engine run 5W30 synthetic without issue ? ... I believe on a drain & fill this engine takes approx. 13 oz. of fresh oil - I usually have that much in various jugs after doing my vehicle synthetic oil changes (i.e. 5W30 synthetic) here in Georgia ... If 10W30 synthetic is better - then I can always pick up a dedicated quart of 10W30 syhtentic from WM and be good for awhile .
