I have a husqvarna push mower with a honda engine. I've been changing the oil every spring since it was new, always with mobile 1 0w-30 oil. Fancy stuff for a lawn mower but its only 19 oz so I think I can swing it. And the machine runs perfect. Basically brand new even though it's 5 years old, maybe more.
But my usage pattern is kind of odd. I have a youtube channel about yardwork. What this means is that I mow my lawn about 2 minutes at a time. Then I stop, move the camera, and start again. Over and over and over. So many stops and starts.
I'm wondering if there is anything special I should be doing to accommodate this unusual usage?
I imagine the biggest thing probably is the oil. Full synthetic 0w is going to keep everything super lubricated during those 30 seconds of down time. It's probably a lot better than running cheapo traditional mower oil you get at the hardware store. But besides that, is there anything else I should look out for? Like is the plug more prone to fouling or something I'm not even thinking of?
