Straight 30wt? I run Mobil 1 5w40 in everything except the Jetta which gets
CarQuest 5w40 (since it meets the VW spec and M1doesn't) and the pickup which
gets M1 5w20.
The only oil related failure I've ever had the mower was running straight 30wt
for break-in before going to M1. Dad ran it for one mowing in the spring to
"mix things up" before changing the oil and it threw the rod out through the
block...

Subject: [MBZ] Mowers For Kaleb
Kaleb,
Buy a used mower, forget about impressing list members with a new one. I
haven't purchased a new mower since the late 70s. I currently have three B&S
mowers, two are close to 20 years old and still going strong and one is about
10 years old. So maybe the newer ones are bad, but not the old ones. Remember
the rules: change oil and filters, only use straight 30w oil, walk where
you're going to mow before you mow to remove any obstructions and lastly
remember your particular mower's limits...as in don't try to do bush hogging
with a mower that can't handle it.
So, good luck and as I always advise, in the end make your own choices,
you'll be happier with the good ones and have no one but yourself to blame for
any bad ones.
Best Wishes,
Roger
