Yungman, Don't use multi-vis oils in a mower. Multi-vis (10w30 etc) are for cars, and water cooled engines which get started up in cold weather and have to run in a variety of temperatures. Air cooled mower engines run hotter than water cooled engines. The internal tolerances are designed to be looser at cold for this reason, so that when the motor heats up, the tolerances close up under normal running temperature. Multi-vis oils will seep past the piston rings when the motor is warming up. You will get more smoke and oil burning with multi-vis oils in mower engines. Most mower engines don't get used below 40 degrees (with the exception of snowblower engines), so straight 30W is recommended for most air cooled mower engines. In Texas we do have high temperatures, so I frequenty use straight 40W when it gets 90+ degrees here. While I'm ranting about oil, the owner's manuals always say 25 hours as the oil change interval. But that's under normal conditions. When it gets dusty and hot (like the 90 degrees above), forget that 25 hours, go for more like 10 or 12 hours sometimes. Remember these little engines usually don't have oil fiters, so whatever gunk that gets in the oil, just goes round and round in there, grinding away at the parts. With oil:When in doubt, change it out.

I believe the limits for the top post are that you cannot edit the title and only have an hour to edit the message. Or something like that. Congrats on the success of your test.

Anna-Lyssa - yes, I took these pictures yesterday. Our growing season here is 12 months a year, and the roses start their first Spring flush sometime between Jan and April, depending on who they are. bossy-vossy - We have actually had that little roof (which has 3 other roses growing on it too) re-roofed. We also have had the entire house painted, and there are several other giant roses growing on three sides of it - all the way up three stories, and some of them 20 feet wide. After getting good advice on here, we cut ALL of them down to about 6-7 feet tall, and wrapped them in burlap. My DH is a retired general contractor, so he made friends with the painters, the other roofers who were repairing the main roof, and the carpenters who were re-shingling one side of the house. He informed them that if they trampled or did anything to the roses I would kill him, and as they liked him, they were very careful. By the end of the 5 week project (entire 3 1/2 story tall house was scaffolded) the roses were all sticking new growth out through the holes in the burlap. They all sprang up when we took the burlap off, and within 2-3 years had all attained their original size. Roses are amazing. Jackie
