Might as well jump in...let's see who i can upset today. The main reason we NEED to change oil in a small engine is because the detergents in the base oil additive package has reached its limit in being able to encapsulate and suspend the carbon from blowby. These suspended particles pass right...

I wish.😁

Tell me how a "white box" filter can kill an engine?

Just don't diss me for pimping out my golf cart🤣🤣🤣🤣 I like the customer with the new $90K pickup complaing he needs a new $40 chainsaw bar.
