Waiting on a drain plug magnet for my Honda EB11000 (GX620) engine. I just learned that it has two drain plugs, and I have had a Fumoto/quick drain valve with extension hose in one side for years for convenience and to keep oil from running all over the place when draining. Will use Rotella T6 5w40, been thinking about the Mobil 1 15w50 though, and that for my Scag with a Kawasaki liquid cooled engine, esp since they have started recommending 20w50 to reduce oil consumption.

[mobilnissan1991]

My 1991 Homelite 4kw generator, built December 10th 1991. 8 hp Briggs
Got it running perfectly
Right now it has Supertech 15W40, Ill run 2 gallons of gas through it, drain the oil, then fill it up with Seafoam and let it sit overnight to clean up any gunk then fill it up with Motorcraft 15W40.

2015 JD 140 Lawn tractor. 30 hours on the oil, 60 hours on the filter, and 175 hours on the machine.

Out: 10w-30 Mobil1 High Mileage and Fram TG-3614 filter.
In: 15w-40 Rotella T6 and Fram TG-3614 filter.

This being a machine used in 40 to 90 degree weather, the 15w-40 seemed appropriate.

Previous mower was a Murray lawn tractor with a 21hp Briggs & Stratton and 46" deck got Supertech 10w30 changed once a year cutting a 2 acre yard. Had it for 13 problem free years until I sold it and upgraded to a mower with a bigger deck.

Next...and current mower is a Husqvarna 54" zero turn with a 24hp Kohler. It gets the same Supertech 10w30 once a year. Had it since 2012 with zero issues.

Brand new 439cc generator fill with Firman oil 10w30. Hopefully I wont need to start it below -20c too often until I switch to 5w30 synthetic.

 

[BigJohn]

Honda GX390 on my 9,000 watt genset. I recently switched out the Carb on this until for a tri-fuel carb. I have a convenient Natural Gas outlet at the back patio and with a 20' hose and couplings..... it is running great on Natural Gas.

But as we know, this requires an change in oil....

So I dumped the Rotella T6 5w40 and poured in Rotella straight grade 30wt.

Generac 4K generator with a rod knock got Castrol Synted 5w40 today.

Why would you change the oil in something with a rod knock?

That thing ran for years knocking! I sold it at our yard sale. I told the buyer and let him hear it. He still made a fair offer.
