Post your latest small engine oil change

Just put the Troy Bilt with a B&S Professional Series 775 away 'til Spring (hopefully).

20oz. of Mobil 1 Extended Protection 5w-30 and a dry gas tank.
 
Just changed my Snow King 7hp engine (22 years old), ariens sno throw. Oil hasn't been replaced in a long time (5 seasons, maybe). very black and acidic I'm sure. drained.

dumped in an old bottle of cheap oil I had lying around... ran for 10 minutes, drained... more very black. Put in 1 qt mobil clean 5000 5w-30. Found out it is about 12 ozs too much, will drain before I start the engine.

I will change this every 25 hrs or 1 season from now on.

Honda HRX Versamower.
1st year I used the oil that came with it (I think it was Honda 10-30 but not real sure; was a little red bottle).
2nd year I used Shell Rotella 15w-40 that was left over from one of the motorcycle oil changes. Later I changed that bike to Rotella 5w-40 synthetic, so then I used the left over for the mower again. It did swell last couple years.
This last spring, on the other motorcycle, I switched it to Amsoil 20w-50, so again I used left over for the Honda mower. I can't believe I'm using Amsoil for a mower, but I like it in the Harley, I figured might as well.
I already bout Amsoil for the spring change on the Harley, and I'll use it also for the mower again.
My mower gets better oils & changes than some folks I know use in their cars & equipment.
 
Tecumseh 8HP on a John Deere TRS26 snowblower:

25oz of Gastrol Edge 5W-30
1oz of MMO

Had been using 10W-30 for the past sixteen years.
Thought I'd switch to the lighter oil.

Changed the oil of the BOLENS 13.5 H.P. riding mower in the cold temp of 16 degrees . Poured in 40 ounces of PLATINUM 10w-30 . Try not to do that again . Makes the teeth chatter
