Drained the factory fill out of my son's 40cc Chinese minibike. I think the motor is a copy of Honda's GX35. With a few hard hours on it, the FF didn't look too bad-slightly silvery, no glitter. Replaced with Rotella T5 10w-30. It only holds 3 ounces, so why not do it often?

I just put fresh Delo 400 5w40 CK4 in my JD 425 water cooled Kawa engine, I feel it or the dino version 15w40 is just bout the best without going overboard on something expensive like Redline etc. and certainly all that's needed, and probably overkill to a minor extent. There are those who argue that 30w or 40w straight grade "small engine" oil is the best for a couple of reasons, (according to the manufacturers) it has foam inhibitors, and a bit higher zinc, and some other small engine attributes. I dunno what exactly is the best, but I feel like this is plenty good enough. From all the VOA/UOAs I've read, there isn't a huge difference between HDEO and small engine oil, even though the manufacturers would like us to think there is. It's hard to know what's best, with all the hype, and advertising, and the manufacturers have their axe to grind with sales, so I just take an educated stab and go with it. One things for sure, an air cooled Briggs or Tecumseh, will last several lifetimes with almost any oil under the sun, and never changed!

Changed oil on a Honda GCV 160. Since I was out of bacon lard I used 50% Lazer brand cheap a$$ 30 weight and 50% Rotella T-4 10-30. I had 13 oz mixed but seemed to take about 10 oz. You sure can’t rush the 30 weight concoction down the fill tube.

John Deere E100 with Briggs & Stratton 17.5HP Engine, 8.0 hours
Out: Factory fill
In: NAPA Conventional 10w-30 and FRAM PH8170

 

[Astro_Guy]

John Deere D140 lawn tractor. Three seasons and 91 hours on the machine. 38 hours on the oil.

Out: Mobil 1 10w-30 EP / Wix 51348
In: Mobil 1 10w-30 EP / Fram TG-3614

Also swapped out the factory Champion RC12YC plugs for a pair of NGK BPR5EIX Iridiums at 90 hours.

I prefer to change the oil in the summer lawn toys at the end of the season, but last season we went from mowing to snowing in the same week.
