Thankyou for your answer but it brings me to another question since you use synthetic in everything. I have a Honda eu2000 generator . Would you also use synthetic In the generator as well?I use synthetic in everything. I've not had any issues of any sort, other than clean engine internals.
I use M1, 10W-30 in my EU2000. 10 years down the road, and a number of hurricanes later, it's still running great.Thankyou for your answer but it brings me to another question since you use synthetic in everything.

M1 meaning Mobil 1?I use M1, 10W-30 in my EU2000. 10 years down the road, and a number of hurricanes later, it's still running great.
There is no downside to a quality synthetic.
Correct.M1 meaning Mobil 1?
I really appreciate all your advice. I live on Vancouver island in British Columbia . We don’t normally get the heat you do but we are a rain forest and the humidity for sure . I have a friend who has basically given me the same advice you have but advised me to go to this site to get other opinions. I however never considered synthetic for my generator which is due for an oil change ,so today I’m going to go out and get the Mobil 1 extended performance . Thanks again for taking the time to share your advice.Correct.
Just to clarify, I'm in South Florida, where it's hot n humid much of the year. I use the following oils:
2009 F150 5.4V8 3valve M1 10W-40 High Mileage (this truck is known for engine failures due to thin oil not reaching the cylinder heads and timing chain/phaser problems. 180,000 miles
2018 and 2011 Ecoboost V6 F150's, Honda EU2000, M1 10W-30 Extended performance
Lawn equipment, JD tractor and Kawasaki water pump: M1 5W-40 TDT (Turbo diesel Truck) or Rotella T6 of the same viscosity. Both oils are very similar.
390cc Subaru Generator M1, 15W-50. This thing runs hot and hard. 2500 hours so far, still runs great.
