Kawasaki FS651v on Husterl

[chevydude]

I stopped by dealer and wanted to pick up some Amsoil for motor and they were recommending the 20w-50 . Nowhere in manual states that viscosity. What is the opinion of others. I prefer the 10w-30 full synthetic and just check the level often because multi-viscosity can get used on motors like these.

Check this out: http://www.kawasakienginesusa.com/engine/accessories/kawasaki-4-cycle-engine-oil. You will see Kawasaki does recommend both 10w30 and 20w50. In fact I am currently using 5w30 full synthetic in mine for 35 hours and have not consumed any. But my next change will be 5w40.

I ran 10w30 Amsoil in my Exmark 708 engine and it was the Signature Series
After 25 hours I pulled it out and went to HDEO 15w40

Since then I dont use 10w30... 5w40 T6 FS is a great choice as well.
I went to 15w50 FS in my 33hp Kohler!

Amsoil recently released a 10w40 small engine oil aimed at the commercial style mowers.

That's what I would grab for it.

I went to Kawasaki website and they list the 20w-50 in the new manuals but mine it does not for the same motor. I will look into the new 10w-40 Amsoil commercial oil around my area and I will change the oil with it when i know i should be done for this year. I will go on and use the 20w-50 to finish me out for this year being I bought the oil yesterday. Thanks again for every ones input. Stay cool this Summer. 105 heat index in NC right now. I am not a commercial grass cutter. The mower is for the home. Huslter Fastrak 48"
