No kidding, how old is that? I just purchased a push mower with the GCV160 (not GVC160) and it recommends 10w30 for most temperatures.
 
OK, I dropped the oil, 2 hrs total on new machine 5 yrs old. The nubs are still on the tread patch. It would have been better if I had tube to put on the easy drain. So all was good til' it got low nd dribbled all over the place. The drain filled a coffee can up to the last rib before the rim. over 2 qt. Mystic 10w30 blend QS-3600 Fresh.

just drained the new BOLENS riding mower with B&S 13.5 H.P. and refilled with PYB HD 30 . Plan to use it for 3 runs and then repalce with PENNZOIL Platinum 10w-30 . Did overfill it about 4 ounces . Any reason to be concerned ? Thanks

The one time I overfilled a lawnmower engine it ran rough, and oil started ooozing out the air filter....No need to overfill a small engine.

I just checked out some Supertech diesel 15w40's....the "premium" jug is CJ/SM, the cheaper diesel is $9 a jug her in Canada and CH/SL rated.
Guess which one I will be running this summer in my OPE's...
