Should be just fine. I'm sure I gave it way too much thought and have way overkill with the Castrol synthetic MC oil.
Nah, if I had some boutique oil laying around I would have used it. [censored], i put Silkolene in my Craftsman lawn tractor. Nice call on the Castrol, I like their motorcycle oils.
Yeah, I found it on clearance at Walmart for about $2.50 a couple of years ago. I certainly wouldn't have paid full price for it just to dump in my cheepo chonda.
Hang in there man... It looks as if you guys are going to have a rough night. Let us know how things turn out.
It was a wild ride, lost power for five days, that little Coleman was thumping for four days straight. Only turned it off for fuel, and changed the oil on the second day, I put some Penzoil platinum 5W30. Was about to change it Sunday morning and the power was restored. Total of 95 to 100 hours on the generator for this storm. For Katrina it ran for five weeks 12 hours a day. This storm we let it run continiously. 10hp Briggs gentek is a tough little motor.
