Gravely20G Registered: 11/21/08 Posts: 37 Loc: Ohio, U.S.A.	The Kohler M20S engine I have has been using about 1/2 pint in 30 hrs on Oil Change with Shell 5W-40 synthetic. I bought this GT used last summer-do not know if there was any prior oil usage or not. I am wondering if I should use a streight 30W but want to use synthetic. Your thoughts
