35 hours is perfectly fine on the oil and filter you are using. Most manufacturers recommend 50 hours on the oil and 100 on the filter.

I picked up this franken mower today, it's a 2019 MTD made Craftsman FWD deck, but it's got a 90s? vintage Quantum with a manual throttle on it, the starter/blower housing says it was manufactured in 2011, but the 4HP Quantum Power cover is very late 80s-1990s style so is metal throttle level and metal flex conduit used for the throttle cable. They were throwing it out because it was leaking fuel because the fuel line was super rotted, the air filter is absolutely plugged, and I need to replace the primer bulb, but it ran OK which I took the filter off and ran it on starter fluid, so I replaced the fuel line and changed the oil, Tomorrow I guess I'll scrape the grass chunks out of the deck and give it a test.
Out:??? not quite enough of it pretty black, but about the viscosity I'd expect 40-50F SAE30 to be.
IN; 15W-40 Rotella T4.

I hate those AWD Husqvarna's, I don't know what moron designed the belt guards, but they don't actually protect anything , in fact they just seem to steal lift from bagging and mulching and direct the clippings right along the belt and mat it into the transmissions, also the idler pulleys get destroyed every few seasons since they're not protected at all.

2019 Craftsman 26" snowblower 243cc PowerMore engine. Bought this unit brand new, and even though it's an MTD product its served me well and has done anything I've ever asked of it. Some winters been much more asking than others! Oil gets changed every spring whether it needs it or not.

In: 0.6L Mobil 1 0W30

2022 Toro Power Clear 518 ZE single stage snowblower - New this past winter. Ran the factory Toro 5W30 for a few snowblowing driveway sessions.

I have a spare Predator 212 from an idea that went horribly wrong. I ended up changing the oil in that with M1 0w40 and swapping it with the Honda GC from my log splitter just because. Cold starts this winter will be interesting.

I also have a little Simpson pressure washer with a generic 210cc engine that received a mix of T6 5w40 and M1 0w40.
