This is an older mower with Koher 16HP twin engine.


Older mower when there were OLDER less reliable/sophisticated oils...

Look at the current recommendations, they have changed their minds. The SAE30 spec is older than dirt...

And Look at current OILs. they are soooo much better, additive packs, viscosity stabilizers everything...
and synthetics have properties that use to be imposable...

It is definitely worth the time for anyone that owns any engine, to look into oils... they are all good but there are some choices that are spectacular... :smile:KennyV
