Kohler Courage SV590 19hp with 301 total hours. 35hrs this OCI.

Stens 10w-30 conventional out, Stens OPE oil filter off.

Rotella T5 10w-30 in, Fram PH3614 on.

Dont hate on the filter choice too much. My OCIs are super short on this thing and I've cut frams like this open after use on this engine before and never found issues.
 
1978 Toro 826 snow blower with 8hp Briggs and Stratton:

Out: PYB 5w30/Rotella T6 5w40 mix
In: Pennzoil Platinum 5w30

Also changed the spark plug with a Champion RJ19LM and installed a new auger belt.
 
2014 Ariens deluxe 28, LCT 254CC. 1st oil change after 1 hour of operation. Plenty of metallic. 20 Oz of motorcraft 5W-30 semi-synthetic, because it's what I had laying around.
 
2014 Honda 928WAS, drained FF after initial 2hrs of blowing 12+ inches of wet heavy snow. Refilled with AMSoil SS 0W-30. Lot's of metal "paste" viable in the drained oil.
 
1985 Ariens ST824 snow blower.

8hp Tecumseh

Out: MS5K 5w-30
In: Mobil 1 5w-30.

Greased all fittings.
 
2012 Honda HRX Lawnmower

Out - Honda 10w30 small engine

In - Mobil 1 10w30

Switched to M1 because it is much cheaper and maybe better. The mower takes only 12oz. Honda oil is just over $4 for 12.6 oz bottle. M1 was on sale for $3.99 a bottle.

oil was in bad shape - looked like thick green pea soup. Warmed it up and changed it a 2nd time. Easier to start now.
