One thing I do with all generators is use synthetic oil.
It doesn't get as thick in the cold so pulling the engine over is much easier.
It may not start any better but you can pull more times before passing out. :)
I use synthetic, as well.
Synthetic is great - unless your oil change is 9 gallons. :B
I've lost that part of this thread, but wasn't it discussed about not using synthetic in the generator? I know using dino isn't BAD, but thought there wasn't much benefit to synthetic over regular.
And maybe that's just because of my particular usage: not enough use to warrant needing to change the oil more than once a year. And only that to keep the oil fresh. Thoughts???
If you do your oil changes on your own vehicles, you will be able to answer your own questions in regards to synthetic versus dino oil. Personally, I see no reason to use dino oil anymore, except for the break-in period of a new engine. Synthetic is so much superior.
