Does it work with 2 stroke line trimmer
sort of … but no.
2-stroke oil works with a 2-stroke line trimmer, not engine oil.
lol :)
What about 4 stroke lawn mower?
If your lawn mower calls for SAE30 or 5W30, should work well. A 5W-30 oil acts like an SAE30 oil when warm, but it's thinner (the viscosity of SAE5) when cold. Most mowers call for SAE30.
@Spam Service: Yeah it's a B&S 450 requiring SAE30. Actually would 5W-40 be okay too? I've got some left over Vavoline full synthetic.
@CVonC: It would work, but it's a bit thicker than what's called for, so not ideal if the engine isn't old. If the engine is old then 5W-40 would probably be better (the clearances wear over time, and a thicker oil works better).
These sales makes me feel like changing engine oil at least once a month :D
These deals make me think about what I could actually do with said oil. Might try use it on the deck, or should i use synthetic for that?
Buy some tarp while you're at SCA, find a hill, make slippery slide.
Just be aware that this is Semi-Synthetic and not Fully synthetic
At $15, just change it twice as often and you're good.
Is that really true. Surely a fully sinthetic oil will protect your engine better?
The main reason to use full synthetic is that it doesn't break down as quickly. If you use a mineral 5W-30 for 10,000kms, by the end it will probably act like a 5W-10. But a full synthetic won't break down as fast, and will probably be closer to a 5W-25. If you change the oil more frequently you keep the benefits of the more viscous oil when warm, but you're also changing out the contaminants faster, since you remove a lot of grime when you change the oil too.
Synthetic oils do also tend to have a lot of modifiers which may add additional benefits, but I'm not sure if that offsets the benefits of changing the oil more frequently to keep the oil cleaner.
thanks. bought 2x.
