Toro mower with 6.5 HP B&S. 12oz Mobil Super 5W30 and 4oz of MMO for 16oz total sump. I have ran this in my mowers for 8 years now (the MMO that is) using different conventionals. Also use MMO in the gas every fill up and star tron for storage. No complaints.
 
March of 2014 I changed out the ff of my Poulan 30" 291 cc LCT powered snowblower. In went PP and at the end of this season, which may be April I will change it out for some more PP 5w30. Over the winter I have this thing parked outside and it pull starts on the first try every time, even -30C ambient. I might try some 0w30 though for fun.
 
I changed the oil in the new snow blower engine. No silver in the break in oil after 20 hrs at least. I used up some leftover dino 5w30 with a dash of Auto Zone generic synth 5w20 Used hard during the snow storms. It is a 212 cc Predator A Harbor Freight Chonda I am very happy with its performance.It has rejuvenated a well worn 524 Ariens
