It finally arrived!! Picked it up on Saturday. They went over it with me for an hour,put it on a load and all that good stuff. And of course when it comes to the oil, I asked what does Honda Recommend? He stated (and is in the manual as well) SAE 10W-30 SJ or later motor oil. No mention of Synthetic what so ever (in the om either) When I asked him about Synthetic oil, he said to just use regular 10W-30. And no mention of why no Synthetic. So, I`m torn between a good Dino like PYB or GTX. Or a good Synthetic like Mobil-1 10W-30. It takes 1.2 quarts of oil. what do you guy`s think?

Is it sitting or running?
I don't have any small motors (except my echo) but ACD would be my choice.

Mostly going to be sitting. In use when we loose power (which seems to happen alot anymore)
