20 year old Briggs and Stratton push mower:
Out - STP SAE 30
In - Time to empty some leftover quarts of oil in my garage. What's on hand? It ended up being about a 50/50 mix of leftover STP SAE 30 and Pennzoil 5w30. Will add Pennzoil 5w30 as needed until winter.

Out: STP SAE 30

This is exactly how I do it. I have an old quart bottle that I drain all of my car oil changes into. Once that hits the right level, the mower gets and oil change. Generally it's a mix of Valvoline High Mileage and Valvoline full synthetic.

 

[Hermann]

Changed the original fill in my Briggs 13.5 hp in a 38" Murray. Don't laugh, it is great in my small yard with obstacles.

Put in 1.5 qts Valvoline Maxlife 10w30 Full Synthetic that I have had forever. This engine has no filter. SN rated Very low NOACK of 6 or so IIRC

Mower used no oil during break in. Oil came out greenish gray. Very full of break in stuff.

Honda HRX217 with 190cc engine

Out : Mobil 1 5W30
In : Castrol Magnatec 5W30

*While I have no issues with Mobil 1 5W30 , I thought I would try the Castrol Magnatec 5W30 - if it "clings" to metal parts in a vehicle engine - then it should do the same in a lawn mower engine .

[userfriendly]

X320 john Deere 22 hp Kawasaki engine. Just the filter this time because the oil is only 10 hours old, but the filter 3 years old. Fram XG 3600 plus half a quart of 20W50 castrol MC.

Two Hi-Run 16 x 6.5 x 8 tires on wheels on the front. It's easier than changing out the tires and tubes, and about the same price.

63 hours in 7 years.

Love the mower easy to start, cuts good and easy to use personal pace.
The buts...hate flipping to change oil and the gasoline overfill going into air filter.
