    Kawasaki FX850V failed with just 2.9hr of use.

    I find that any oil will work fine. But the problem I have always seen is running them low on oil. I have yet to see a engine go to crap if the engine oil was always checked and topped off when needed. But seen lots of engines running expensive oil running low crankcase level. The engines was junk.
