Marine grease for the boat trailer and outboard fittings.........high temp red on everything else - mowers, auto, tractor etc....

I have an older riding mower with a B&S Model 287707 14.5 OHV engine. Sticker on the mower says use a 5062 spark plug, there is a B&S 491055 in it now. Also shows Champion RJ19HX as an alternate plug, others say use RC12yc. What's best recommendation??

I am also looking at a 2006 with the 5 cylinder diesel........after reading several things about the DEF and V6, I am leaning towards it.

For what it is worth I use 2oz of 2 stroke oil and 2oz of MMO to 10 gallons of fuel..........either gas or diesel in my cars, trucks, tractor, outboard motors, lawn mowers, etc..... Lubricates fuel pumps, top ends, injectors.

In process of buying a 2010 Sprinter van with the Mercedes V6 diesel engine. I was told by the owner I needed to use Mobil 1 Synthetic Diesel. I have always used Shell Rotella in my other diesel engines.........am I good ? How about other oils that will work ?

I run Rotella 15-40 synthetic blend in my Cub Cadet with Kohler engine and in my Murray with a Briggs.

I have been using Rural King full synthetic oil for several years. It is Dexos approved and I thought it was pretty decent oil. Today I was doing an oil change and this plastic crap came out of the jug...…...hopefully my funnel caught all of it. Seems like pieces of plastic...…..anybody...

Bought a push mower to use in Florida. B&S engine 7.25hp Was thinking about using Rotella T-5 syn blend 15-40 for oil changes. Sound good???

Ok...........I only drove the van from my shed to the house garage.........I drained the overflow jug and refilled with OAT.
