Was thinking about using Rotella T-5 syn blend 15-40 for oil changes.

Sound good???

What come in the box with mower? Usually a bottle or bag of sae 30


What new push mower includes straight 30W? Most-all include 10W30 these days.

Not really 10w30 has higher consumption my mower recommend 30 or 5w30 full synthetic


Both my Kohler and Honda came with and recommend 10W-30. I haven't had any consumption issues running that grade.

I hate saying this, but I've had great luck with Amsoil ASE. Push mower (Briggs Quantum) and pressure washer (Honda GCV). Would get random consumption on the Briggs with SAE 30 or T4 15w40. First use it the Amsoil consumed a bit as I think it did some cleanup, but now neither consumes a single drop all season long. I put easily 50-75 hrs on the mower and 25+ on the pressure washer and they both look pristine at the end of each season with no make up oil at all. My humble $.02
