| Post subject: | Synthetic Oil |
I've read in numerous places that synthetic improves the performance of your motor. Just bought a new 35 HP Go-Devil. I put regular 30w oil in it for the break-in period and after 6 or 8 hours I'm planning on draining it and re-filling with synthetic. The question is.....If this motor was going to be running in temperatures from 0 degrees to 70 degrees...what would you use for Oil weight?? I'm leaning toward 10w 30. Anyone see a big problem with that?? Would I be better served with something else?? Thanks |

If it is a Kohler, they reccomend running 10W-30 at 40-whatever temp and 5W-30 at 40 to -20. Check out the link below. http://www.kohlerengines.com/onlinecata ... p_2580.pdf |

It may good idea to run synthetic, but it's not recommended until you have at least 50 hours on the motor. |

That's what's recomended by small engine manufacturers. To ensure everything is properly seated, I assume. |
