Hello everyone,
Long time lurker first time poster.
I just bought a HS1132 snowblower with a GX340 engine that is 18 years old. I know the owner that bought it new and had it this whole time and he told me he changed the oil every years.
Since he went to Honda every time, it must have been some GN4 5w-30 that he used.
Now, since this is an older machine, would it benefit from a Full Synthetic or High Mileage Blend?
I'm a big fan of Synthetic oils but I'm not sure it's worth it after all these years.
Also, when is the best time to change the oil, before the snow season or after? I've seen both on forums.
Thanks!
