We'd throw whatever oil we had into it, usually 5W30 or 10W30 even though it called for straight 30. Never used a drop. Used it to mow 4 acres once or twice per week from May 1st - October 1st. How could it possibly last that long without the oil being filtered at 99% efficiency @ 20 microns??????????
Just like the cars are scrapped before the engine fails on a nothing but quick oil change filters.
BAZINGA! Haven't you seen all the cars dead on the side of the road due to poor oil filter selection?
