OK, I know I am overthinking this but just out of curiosity the 0w-40 Euro that I have here, wouldn't that basically be the same as the 10w-40 that Kawasaki recommended? Since I would only be using this tractor to cut grass when it is at least 60 degrees out and not using it in the winter...

@walterjay @jeepman3071 Thanks guys. I appreciate it. From what I read a lot of people love the Rotella T6 15w-50 but I am thinking I got like 4 of these 5 quarts jugs here already and I want to use them instead of accumulating more. Although air cooled I would not be out there when it's over 90...

So I got a used JD x380 in excellent condition with only 250 hours. It has a Kawasaki 22HP V-Twin air cooled engine. Previous owner just buys the JD kit that includes the Turf Guard 10w-30. I am looking to change the oil for the first time. I had bought some 5 quarts of the Amazon Basics 0w-40...

Yes. Totally. You and @Astro14 made a lot of sense and I have zero doubt whatsoever on the HPL oil. My question is just IF they will have zero issues with getting it approved, why not do it just so people like myself don't question it? People in this thread have said they would have zero issues...

HPL is a boutique high-performance oil and not in the same category as the name-brand off-the-shelf oils and with testing would meet the approvals that we are talking about - that is based on the trust placed in the company, their track record, and their Q&As here ad nauseam on BITOG; I got some...

I know I am not making many friends here but it seems like BITOG is all about pushing HPL Oil. Are they a sponsor of the site or something?

I understand you completely but why not get MB 229.5 approval to be on the list? I completely get it and I don't question this HPL oil at all. Heck, I never heard of it. What I am questioning is that on one hand folks are questioning "why would someone use this Amazon Basic Euro that is not...

But yet in another post you used HPL Euro at 3x the cost of Mobil 1 Euro. And HPL isn't even on approved list but here you are telling me to dump this cheapie oil on Marketplace. Why don't you enlighten me Mr. Chase?

Regardless, his oil isn't on the approval list..... at more than 3x the cost of M1 Euro WHICH IS on the approval list. So what am I missing here?

So what is so good about this HPL Oil? it doesn't have the approval but it sounds like you wouldn't have any issues using it in your Benz.

Lemme ask you this. Would you run HPL Euro in the Benz turbo engines for the full 10K OCI? Well, NVM. Although I have never heard of HPL oil until today, I pulled up the and could find nothing about 229.5 approvals so my question is why on earth would anyone buy this oil at like $17 a quart...

You guys got me convinced now. Either this weekend or next weekend I’ll drain this stuff out and put in the M1 Euro 0W-40 I have here. A 6 quart bag will be emptied into this Turbo 4 cylinder. I’ll save the extra Amazon stuff for something else and maybe just give it to my neighbor. I’m not too...

Well. You know what I mean about the aspirin thing 😀 but I will say I agree with you on the ammo. During the Covid supply shortage I got some Wolf steel ammo from Target Sports and they dirtied my Sigs and Glocks more than normal and I swear never again and I will stick to Magtech Blazer or...

I hear you and I completely get it. And I am not arguing about numbers. Heck, I don't even know what a lot of it means. Is what I am saying. However, when people say I don't use this cheapie stuff because it does not appear on the approval list or it's not good enough for the Benz, what fact do...

Hey, anytime man. I don't think it was a pricing error. I think Amazon was just trying to get rid of it. Because it's not on their site anymore. Only their 5W-40 Euro is. My neighbor is an ER doc and his wife a Gynocologist. They drive Audis. The guy love doing things on his own and has a lift...
