Wal-Mart Supertech 30W...It has been doing a great job for my OPE for years.

Just got done with my oil change. I had Supertech 15/40 wt in there for 3 seasons.Never used a drop, but for this change I figured I'd use up some of the partial bottles I had laying around to clean up the garage a little. So what went in was, 1/3 bottle of Valvoline 10/30 wt, 1/3 Rotella t 15/40 wt, and finished the rest off with Valvoline 10/40 wt motorcycle oil.Cleaned the plug original fron '99, started it up ran as good as usual then cut the grass. First cut of the season. Nothing like the smell of fresh cut grass.,,

Have a relatively new, last of the great Techumseh Snow King engines on my snowblower. The blower is an older, 30 inch Craftsman that ain't built any more - more's the pity. It's a great snowblower that my wife's deceased grandfather babied for years. The old engine went in it (tossed a rod out the side of it) & I bought the a/n engine in 11 1/2 HP flavour. Last year afyer the end of the season, I put T6 in it. This year I just finished up the season & changed it to original GC (yup, green stuff circa 2004, I think). Anyway, that's what I did. I imagine T5 would be a good OPE oil. Have lots of green GC so I might stick w/ that for a few seasons...

Changed the oil in the mower and weed whacker yesterday:

Briggs 6.75 flathead, out was Briggs 30wt that the previous owner left for us. In was the rest of that oil plus some, probably 8 or 9 year old Rotella 15w40 I had left over from my Mustang I got rid of in 2005. Bottle was opened but it is clean oil.

Troy Built 4 cycle, out was Briggs 30wt. In was the Rotella 15w40.

All oil was black as dirt coming out.

2004 Murray 22" W/B&S Quantam 6.0

Out: Mobil Special 30W

In: B&S 30W

Also sharpened the blade, new air filter, plug, and fuel stabilizer (tune up in a box). I think this is the last cutting season for this mower as the deck is rusting badly.

Toro Timemaster factory fill changed out to M1 10w30 High mileage. Then I proceeded to mow a .39 acre yard in 22 minutes, and dumped the oil again. (i did line trim before mowing, that took about 15 minutes by itself) I can't have left over factory fill mixed with mobil 1! Nothing is too good for this mower.

Changed the oil in the MIL's MTD rider last night. 15.5 HP Tecumseh.

Out: Some cheap SAE 30

In: Maxlife Nextgen 10w40 (from the $1.99 clearance at OReilly's)
