I have a 12 year old Honda snowblower with the 6.5 HP OHV engine (HS 624 Model). Since new, I have always run Genuine Honda 5w30 oil. On my last visit to the dealership however, a quart of 5w30 "Honda" oil now costs just over $7 including taxes. I don't consider myself cheap when it comes to maintenance on my gear, but I do have a problem with paying $7 a quart for dino oil if a better synthetic is available for much less.
I run Penzoil Platinum 5w30 in my vehicle and have an ample supply on hand. Would there be any negatives to switching my 12 year old Honda engine over to PP?
I noticed that both the Genuine Honda Dino oil and the PP is API rated SM.
Thanks
