All opinions welcome

I bought a new predator 212cc and put 10w30 Pennzoil ultra synthetic in the engine for the first start, while it was the only oil i had laying around. Anyone if this is going to cause bad wear or what i could do I have only ran the engine twice.

I recently moved to Redline oil after break-in on my modded predator and I'm noticing oil on the floor. Realizing there are many factors, one of which is the fact that synthetics do creep past seals, do you all have any hints/tricks. I don't mind living with it and topping off on occasion. I'm...

I almost cringe at posting this, with all the misc oil threads, but here goes... I use the "cheap" Walmart synthetic 5W-30 in almost all of my small engines, because they are almost all Briggs, and Briggs lists 5W-30 synthetic as one of the best options for their motors. Oil Recommendations...

Hey guys, I was wondering if using 10w 30 Mobile 1 synthetic oil in my built clone would be good. I've put 3 hours worth of break in time with 10w 30 dino oil and it all seems to run good. Is there any downside to switching to this synthetic besides cost? It's what AGK recommends on...

Isn't it odd that synthetic oil is almost $9.00 a quart. Are the Arab's pulling this stuff from the ground?

Hello, I'm just wondering if any of you guys broke your engine in with synthetic oil? The oil manufacturers claim you can but what about on a gx200 that's never been started before? Is there a special synthetic oil for break-in? I just don't want to switch between oils. Or would switching...

Does anyone use synthetic oil mix with an older 2 cycle motor, i.e. Sacks with a 24:1 mix ratio. I want to get rid of the 2cycle oil smoke when running, maybe Torco oil?

A guy at the local parts store told me i should use ND oil in my doodle bug, so i called a local small engine repair shop and they told me to use regular motor oil. I went with a synthetic blend and a new plug and it runs smooth as could be. Does anybody on here use non-detergant oil ? and...

Just got back form Napa they have their house brand full synthetic on sale for $2.99 a quart. Its re packaged Valvoline. Good oil, not like Amsoil but for the price its a steal! Jordon
