Mobil 1 in new equipment?
Original Message Apr 14, 2005 9:08 am

I just heard from Marshal that he uses Mobil 1 in his OPE. My question is:

I just purchased a brand new Ariens snow blower with a tech 8.5HP that is now winterized (Has 5 minutes run time to make sure it works) and I will be taking delivery of a brand new Bradley 32 mower with a Briggs 10.5HP IC engine. How long should I wait to start running Mobil 1? (I only waited 1000 miles in my truck (2003 Super Charged Nissan Frontier) and no problems but this may be different?) The next question is what weight do you run? 10W30?

PS I have never ever been so anxious to mow my lawn!!!!!

Hey Brain, I know down here in Fla all the guys tell me to run straight 30wt. I'm guessing because of the hotter weather we have i dunno. But that is what I run in both my mowers no problems.
