Air cooled motors; one change per year, honey colored at change. For 1: 5 yr 15 hp riding mower, mowed 2 acres, twice a week. Ck this year; hone marks still on cyl wall....peeked thru sparkplug hole. Engines; 1. Never have "dry bearing rumble" at first startup after oil change anymore. (Fill filter always prior to installation). 2. Doubled engine oil change interval on OTR vehicles. 3.

For cost of the stuff, wally world has dropped Mobil 1 15w-50 to $4.04/qt and it has been cert for CH service. The Dodge tranny alone would have cost $1750. How much oil can you buy with that? Mark
