It's funny that most OPE will outlast the machine it is mounted on using nothing more than SAE 30 dino oil, yet we quibble over the best synthetic oil to use. While I myself am equally guilty, what would anyone expect to gain by using a $10/qt oil in their OPE?
Well I figure most small engines only take 2 qts of oil so $20-25 I spend on great oil is money well spent to protect a several thousand $ machine. Better than tossing a generator to the curb as stated in an earlier post.
Do you think the machine actually will be better off with oil three to five times the price of a decent brand name oil?
The machines tossed to the curb died from running out of oil. If the machine had run of of Amsoil, would it be any better off?
OPE isn't particular about oil as long as it has sufficient oil to provide adequate lubrication.
You want to pay $25 to $30 for two quarts of oil when oil one 5th the cost will do is your choice. I'll pass on the boutique oil and keep my money knowing full well the regular brand name oil is providing all of the protection and lubrication my engines need.
