My Subaru/Robin RG4300iS generator.
Out: RT5 10W-30 CJ with 31.5 hours on it (but almost 5 years...yeah yeah, I know)
In: RT5 10W-30 CK
Generator has 52.5 hours total since purchased in December 2011 and this was the third OCI. Oil looked like it could go a lot longer.

Honda push mower with GCV-160 motor.
Out: M1 5w30 High MIleage
In: Drip oil consisting of M1 5w20, 5w30, and 0w40. Possibly more...
What came out looked factory fresh; probably a wasted change. Put a new blade on today. I like to change the oil and sharpen the blade every time the mover gets flipped over. Guy at the mower shop that sold me the blade scolded me for the condition of my old blade, said it looked like it hadn't been sharpened in four years. Actually I sharpen it once or twice every year, and had done so towards the end of the season last fall.

Funny story. I backed over my string trimmer with my tractor Friday. Went and bought a new Husqvarna two stroke trimmer. Wife mad, understandably. Go to mom’s house for her birthday to say hi, and tell her about it. She says “you can take that P. O. S. Troy Bilt in the corner.
Wife wants to return the Husqvarna to Lowe’s, because now I have two. I reason that now I have a spare.
I tell you that to tell you this. The Troy Bilt is a four stroke, and has a little sump of crankcase oil. 3 ounces. I open the plug and surprise surprise, not a single drop runs out. So my latest OPE oil change is as follows:
Troy Bilt Four Stroke string trimmer.
Unknown hours
Out; Nothing.
In; Royal Purple 10w-30, 3 whole fluid ounces. (The jug was already open)
And it runs, somehow.

Changed the oil in my Craftsman II push mower with the 3.5hp Tecumseh engine. Donating it to a girl my Wife works with who is on her own and needs a mower where she lives. Still starts on the first pull and runs great. Drained out Rural King 10w30 synthetic and filled with Conoco-Phillips 15w40 oil from the lube shop I work part time.

Changed the oil in my Poulan 30" snow blower. Its the LCT powered AYP/Husky built thing. Not sure on the hours on this change but ballpark around the 50 hour mark in 2.5 seasons of use. Out was PPPP 5w30 and in was Castrol black bottle Syntec or what ever the new name for it is, 5w30. Using stabil and it starts first pull.
