Changed my GCV160's oil this weekend as well. Pennzoil Ultra 10w30 on the way out and in. I've had auto choke issues as well.

2004 model Briggs 5.5 hp on a Huskee 22" Mulching walk-behind mower (re-branded MTD I bought at Tractor Supply).
Out: ST 30w
In: 17 oz. Kendall GT-1 synthetic blend 10W30 combined with 3 oz. PYB 10W30
New blade
New air filter
Cleaned and re-gapped spark plug
Mower started right up on the first pull and purred like a kitten while cutting the grass for the first time this year. I will use the rest of the PYB quart for topping off during the season.

Drained the last seasons oil out of my briggs quantum mower engine. Refilled with 50/50 mix of Napa synthetic and Super Tech 5w30. I guess that would be a syn blend, right?

1999 John Deere F510 with Kawasaki 14hp motor.
The total capacity is 4 quarts but the hydraulic unit shares the oil. Though it does not mix somehow. I just drain out 2 quarts and change the filter. Then the old motor oil goes into the hydraulic unit. Only 2 quarts will drain. The motor oil is
lighter color than the hydraulic unit oil.
I use to drain two then pour two which drove out the motor oil but quit. The oil stays good looking all year.
2 qts Valvoline synthetic 5w30. Purolator Pure One PL10241 filter

Amsoil 4 cycle 10W-30/SAE 30 in my Toro lawnmower and Amsoil 4 cylcle 0W-40 in my 10 HP generator.
Just bought a 1991 MTD "Turf Power" tiller. I bought it from the original owner who purchased it new from Agway in 1991. It was stored inside and hardly used. He also included all the paperwork. I'm not a fan of MTD stuff, but this seems fairly well-made. I think their stuff from the late 1980s/early 1990s was of much better quality.
It has a 5hp Briggs and Stratton flathead engine. I changed the oil to Rotella T 15w40, installed a new air filter, and a new spark plug.
Here is a pic of it:
I think it needs a carb cleaning since it is surging at full throttle a bit.
