We just picked up an Exmark for cutting grass at the house. Will cut about 6 acres a week. Our model comes equipped with the Kawasaki FX801V engine.
It's brand new, going to run the factory oil for 5 hours (currently at .5 hours).
Looking for a recommendation for oil for it to last. Here in SC gets pretty warm in summer.
In the manual it shows for 68f to 104f to use sae40 oil. It also says NOTE
Using multi grade oils (5W-20, 10W-30, and 10W -40) will increase oil consumption. Check oil level more frequently when using them.
So I'm a little at a loss if I should use multi grade oil.
Looking for suggestions. Want to be ready for grass cutting season.
Thanks
