I got my craftsman 6.5hp briggs and Stratton 24 years ago. I paid 279.00 and it still started first pull a few weeks back after sitting the winter. It hasn't had its oil changed in over 15 years. The last oil in it is Mobil 1 10w30 that I got buy 3 get 3 free from pepboys calendar. Minimal top off over the years. I was going to change the oil this year but said no, let's keep going. Long story, but this is the only engine subjected to this in my household. It keeps on going, used 1 hour per week minimum April through early October
