Hi...

Can't find it... Previously bought it from AMSOIL... the only source I found... don't see it in their catalogs or website now... still available ? ( too lazy to call 'em...)

I use it in my OPE... Got Mobil-1 10w-30 instead...

Dave...

I also have a Kawasaki on my Scag mower, and i run straight 30 wt. Almost ANY engine will burn some oil, and oil consumption CAN and WILL increrase when a thinner oil is used.

Years ago cars ran fine with thicker oils. Heck, have some bad bearings in a old big block, run heavier oil to keep the oil pressure up. But with newer engines, and " Energy Conserving" thinner lubricants, tolerances although tighter, can alow some oil by and burn off. My ford 4.6 burns a quart or so between changes, and the manual stresses 5W30. I bet some 40 wt would elimiate the loss.

HI MArshall,

Glad I could be of help with the Kawasaki motor condiering all the advice you have given me.  THe Husqy is doing great, cuts as well as the day I purchased it, thanks for asking.  Hope you and your family have a safe and happy 4th.

Back at ya buddy. 

I have a Troy-Bilt Rotatiller that calls for SAE 30 oil, can I use Synthetic 10W30 or any 10W30 for that matter?

No problem with that 10W30 is excellent for summer in small engine, as long as you change oil once a year.

Thanks
