I recently purchased a new mower and went with a Honda HRX217HYA. I'm really happy with the mower and want to take good care of it. The manual calls for 10W-30 or 5W-30.
I am looking at the following oils for this machine:
Mobil 1 10W-30
Shell Rotella T5 10W-30 Semi-Synthetic because I have this oil for other equipment
Shell Rotella T6 5W40 Full synthetic because I use a lot of this in my motorcycles and quads so I have that too.
I likely will be changing the oil more often than the manual requests just because it's so easy and I'm not concerned about putting $10 extra a year into maintaining a $700 piece of equipment.
What oils are other GCV-190 engine owners using?
