synthetic oil again...oops

been reading about oils and even posting about it lately .so i decided to do a bit of investigating. picked up my latest briggs update manual... 2004 vintage. and inside was a nice bragg about their synthetic oil. they say they are at the time of printing the only ones selling a synthetic oil for air cooled engines.and they go on to whine about how much better it is when your engine is hot . every other synthetic oil is supposedly for liquid cooled engines. so folks im curious ,what does your bottle of synthetic oil say on the side. lets hear about it later chris ps my snowblower just has regular 5w30 and its fine.

now calm down guys ... i was just posting about what briggs had put in there update. that synthetic oil of theirs isnt even available in our little part of the world. the only reason i have the dino oil in my snowblower is because its a kaboom engine and its got a short life expectancy. and then ill be putting on an ohv somthing or other we have hondas ,noname honda look a like s and briggs and soon to get mitsubishi and a bunch of other stuff including kawasaki. i would really like on of those 15 horse v twin kawi engines. that would just about make me happy. anyway when i get a new engine i will for sure use the synthetic oil ,im sold i use the synthetic mix oil in my big butt husky chainsaw. its just not worth it for every engine out there,it might keep my old kaboom going forever and then i couldnt replace it ,know what i mean. later chris
