Small Engine - Dino Break In

[bubbatime]

I'm a huge fan of using dino for the first year or 50 hours, whichever comes first.

The rings seem to seat better and the engines seem to consume less oil.

My snow blower is 21 years old and all it's ever had was 5w30 auto store brand mineral oil used in it. I had it out yesterday for about 3 hours. The snow was over the machine, but it would tunnel thru it if you let it.,,,

I usually use dino in snowblowers anyway because I change the oil every season. It would be a waste to use synthetic, and since my machines are stored indoors they start just fine.

My new portable generator will arrive in a few days.

My first fill will be QS dino 5W30, second fill will be Pennzoil syn-blend 5W30, and all the following fills will be full-syn Pennzoil 5W30. Why? Because I am a BITOG member.
