Post your latest small engine oil change


That's about what I do with my mower. I have a drip bottle that gets the remnants of all my family's oil changes. That gets poured into the mower and if need, topped off with 10W-30. Mower is running great for 15 years so far!
 
Honda GCV160 in a pressure washer

Out: O’Reilly(Claumet) 10W-30
In: Castrol Edge FST A3/B3/SL Euro 5W-30

while this Honda is easy on oil, it was sheared down pretty well. I’m only running synthetics or HDEOs in OPE whenever possible. But I’m also a believer that fresh oil is better than old oil too.
 
Changed the oil in my B&S 5500W gen with the 342CC engine. Out B&S 5W-30 Synthetic, about 45 hours on it, in Valvoline syn MaxLife full syn 10W-30. I have a slow leak at the crankshaft seal, a common B&S problem it seems and maybe this will help, who knows. Second was my snow blower. 179cc PowerMore engine. Out was Rotella T 10W-30, in the same. I'm set for power outages and snow 😉.
