Don't worry about it, the manual says to change oil every 25 hours but I do that every 10-15 hours.

Sounds good, Is 10W-40 available? As I reside in a very hot climate, this viscosity grade is preferable for my needs.

Is there a notable distinction between them? The Amsoil Premium Protection appears to offer a more elevated level of performance (with a significantly higher TBN and slightly higher cost) compared to the Small Engine variant. When deciding between the two for my generator and pressure washer...

Okay so this is what the manual says ... Is 5W-30 Synthetic and 10W-40 Semi-Synthetic are the same at high temp as the chart suggests? I have some 5W-30 Briggs synthetic oil on hand but I am afraid it will not survive the extreme weather in Israel summer. Thinking of getting some 10W-40...

Mobil Delvac 1300 Castrol Tection Extra Castrol Vecton Shell Rimula Which one :) ?

Is it okay to use heavy duty DIESEL oil in small gasoline engine? I thought some additives in Diesel oils are bad for gasoline.

Apparently there is no license or spec, only grades.

It says either 10w-40 or 15w-40 but no grades mentioned there. I feel like I am over-thinking it but I like to baby my stuff :D

Thanks. The manual of my engine states the same. But which oil is good for break in? I read someone that Moly is not good for break in and this is one of the oils that I found here that does not contain it. But it is pretty poor on the Zinc additive. Or am I wrong...

I just ordered a 3.5kw Senci generator with 139cc, air cooled engine, 3600RPM. I am wondering what's the best oil I can buy to break it in properly with the least wear on the engine? And which oil should I buy after the break in period? Thanks!

Ended up returning my Ducar generator for a different model. I will open new thread shortly.

I am in Israel. Shell is barely available here, but I found 10W40 Helix HX7 4 liters for 35$. Is it good? Better than Kixx G1 (4 liters - 22$)? Edit - Shell Advance for Motorcycles is also available here, should I go with passanger car oil or Motorcycle oil for my generator?

Hey everyone, I have two generators, one is a Ducar 4000W Inverter, the other is Briggs and Stratton Inverter P2000. The Ducar is brand new and still in box, I am wondering which oil should I use with it? User manual recommends either 10W-30 or 15W-40. But I think 15W-40 is too thick, should...
