I've ran Rotella T6 in just about everything I've owned for at least 15 years. From 1300cc sportbikes, supercharged WaveRunners, 4 stroke outboards, zero-turns, lawnmowers, and diesel trucks. I've never had a problem with it.
...... And lets not forget that most residential mowers, don't even come with a drain plug so you can even change the oil. Sure you can turn it upside down, or suck it out the fill tube if you just gotta change it. But most have what the mfgr consider a lifetime fill. just add oil when needed......
Most mowers now days show in the user manual to tip the mower and pour the old oil out the fill spout. Mine is almost 20 years old and works this way.Seriously? I've never owned, or for that matter ever seen a mower, or any other small gas 4-stroke engine without a drain plug. This must be another one of these mechanical advancements coming to us from, "engineers who we should trust because they know so much".... Probably the same idiots who designed BMW's engines with no dipstick.

My Honda doesn't leave a drop on the deck when I turn it sideways to drain. Its actually easier than a drain plug, and less mess.Must be nice using 2 rolls of paper towels when it runs all over the mower deck.
I hold the pan near the spout and don't lose a drop. Easy Peasy.Must be nice using 2 rolls of paper towels when it runs all over the mower deck.
4 oil changes a year? Holy smokes. You’d save so much by just not changing it.I used to use conventional in my lawn mower.
Then, I switched to full synthetic.
I did 4 oil changes in my lawn mower last year with no issues to report
Probably about 12 dollars. haha4 oil changes a year? Holy smokes. You’d save so much by just not changing it.
