    I use Kawasaki KTECH in small engines. I'm not a small engine mechanic, but a very good one I know recommends this because of the Zinc content. It has worked very well for me and I'll continue to use it!

    Most small engines, are not made to the close tolerances, of others. Most oils will be fine.
    Bobcat makes personal and commercial mowers.

    My manual for the B&S engine calls for 30w oil, my season is from May to Oct, and the oil is changed at the end of the season and stored with fresh oil and run empty of stabilized gas, fresh air filter and spark plug as well. In the spring, my 24 year old push mower starts with the first pull.
