Post your latest small engine oil change
- Thread starter greenaccord02

Just changed my Generac GP 5500 Generator from Mobil 1 5w30 to Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5w-40. I really like this oil. Engine seems to run a little smoother and just a tad quieter. Gonna run this for a little while. Also changed the factory sparkplug to an NGK equivalent.
My Toro recycler mower got a change from last year's Home Depot (powercare??) straight 30 to Rotella T6 in the mower. The old oil came out like water. Should have no problems with the Rotella. Mower seems to run much better.

Helped my dad get his mower ready for spring this past weekend. Mower is a Weedeater brand riding mower with a 12.5 Briggs and Stratton Power Built engine and 38 inch deck. Looks just like a Craftsmen/AYP.
Out=Not sure what it was and oil was on the add line.
In=10w30 Havoline conventional because that is what he had in his garage.
Also cleaned the battery terminals and added some fresh gas. Had to order a set of blades because the old ones were completely worn out.
