This is just a C-P api SM or SN oil now? Is it ILSAC rated or API starburst? Turf guard had been a boosted ZDP oil in the past (ala Briggs and Stratton Brand) but IIRC it ain't no moe.
I dont know how you drive so i cant rec a OCI.

Well since you said it I assume this includes endless, endless sustained hours of idling and parking lot orbiting with the ac on full with ambient temps at 75-95F. So, I would run that swill 3000 miles and then go get a good synthetic 5w30 like Mobil1 or PP.

This is wrong. They do make an automotive motor oil. It is called Plus 4 and many people just use the torq gard for vehicles. The turf gard is for 4 stroke engines and meets SM ratings.
