Not really tractor related, but maybe someone has experience with this. Has anyone here used synthetic motor in a small engine? Would it be a good idea, cause harm, or make no difference at all. The reason I ask, I recently purchased a pull behind trail cutter to mow an area of my property that is not accessible with the tractor and bush hog. The cutter works great, but there are some steep areas I am going to mow. What concerns me is that the 10.5 HP B&S engine does not have an oil pump. My thought was the synthetic oil would adhere to the surfaces better, preventing problems.
I would not be keeping the machine on the slope for extended periods of time. Probably 1 to 1.5 minute to get to get to the top of the hill, turn around, let the machine run for a minute and then come back down. This may not even be a legitimate concern, but I do not want to lock the engine up mowing a slope.
