Kawasaki FH451V -
Out: Castrol GTX 5W30 / no brand generic 49065-7010 filter
In: Havoline 10W30 / AC Delco PF1233 filter
I only ran the Castrol about 10-15 hours because of unknown prior maintenance history and I wanted to "flush" the engine out. Was going to use Rotella T 10W30 this time based on mrsilv04's experience with it in a Kawasaki engine, but didn't feel like dealing with Wal-Mart today and the parts stores didn't have Rotella T in 10W30.
By the way, for those with engines using the 49065-7010 filter, it cross references to Fram number PH4967, which is AC Delco PF1233, Motorcraft FL836 (good luck finding one at a store), and Wix 51394. These filters cost about half what a genuine Kawasaki filter costs and about half of the generic lawn mower filters too.
Also changed the oil in my 20+ year old Briggs flathead -
Out: Can't remember, but probably Castrol GTX and a top off cocktail of leftovers from the truck.
In: "Pro Select" 30 weight
I scraped the deck on this one today and it was NASTY. Lots of white fuzzy mold.

2000 Toro Push Mower - B&S 6 HP flat head.
I put M1 0W40 in the car, and always have a 1/2 qt left over. the B&S takes 1/2 qt, so it gets the left over M1. This does seem to help when starting on cold days (sprin and fall).

B&S 675 series, (125K02).
yesterday: took it out of storage (fogged, crankcase filled with GC 0W30 used as "flush"). drained carb bowl, re-fueled with fresh fuel, cleaned spark plug electrode to ride of fogging oil, etc. Fueled with fresh gas and fired it up.
Finished mowing both front and back lawn. Drained and refilled crankcase with Chevron Delo 15W40 multivisc.
