Guys sorry if this is off the tdi topic, but figured the collective knowledge about oils was here if anywhere, and wasn't really sure where to post...
Today I bought a Husqvarna riding lawn tractor with a 15HP Kawasaki v-twin
.
The oil recommendation chart is very broad. It says -
API service- SF, SG, SH, or SJ
Choose oil viscosity according to temp chart.
From -4F to 90F SAE 10w-30 or 10w-40
From 32F to 90F SAE 30
From 68F to 105F SAE 40
it also says below "using multi grade oils will increase oil consumption. Check oil level more often when using them"
What do you guys think? I dont use my machines commercially, and would like to use the best synthetic possible.
I have laying around - Delvac 1 5w-40 that I use in my two diesel vehicles, Amsoil 0w-40 for my ATV, and a few bottles of Mobil 1 10w-30 laying around. Of course I could go get something else too, just throwing those choices out there....
