I run 10w-30 full syn in all my air cooled engines and change once a year or maybe 2 years with little use. Some are new some older used for different chores around the place. I mow a lot of grass. As far as I see it, all the bla bla on air cooled engines running hotter and all is just that......bla bla.

My 2011 Silverado 1500 4.8 V8 has 2 electric fans and the temp gauge sits rock solid at 210!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
