Reccomended Oil/grade for HONDA Air-cooled 4-stroke OHC single cylinder 4.4HP lawnmower engine?

alot of people use 4cycle.....most of our mowers we use 10w-30 conventional in the summer-fall...... but id be inclined to use a synthetic -10w-30 rather than lawnmower 4cycle oil. WHAT SAY THE PEANUT GALLERY?Reccomended Oil/grade for HONDA Air-cooled 4-stroke OHC single cylinder 4.4HP lawnmower engine?
I have, and have had over 20 pieces of Honda Power Equiipment. Lawnmowers, generators, tillers, a power carrier, outboards, water pumps, all were great, and I used 10-30 detergent, Pennz, Honda, Valvoline. It depends on how often you change your oil, and mow your lawn. Your owners manual gives you a recomended change interval. If you are using your mower 30 minutes or less a week, than change it once a year, but check it more often. If you want to change it less often, than use the synthetic. Also keep a fuel stabilizer, for example Stabil, in your fuel at about 2 oz to a gallon. My HR21 Honda was from 1976, and it is still going strong, as is the rest of my Hondas. I change the oil on all of them every year, and the bottom end oil on the outboards every other year. Unless I get lucky enough to fish more often. You did not mention if you were using this commercially, or if you are in particularly dusty conditions. My answer is based on assuming you are using this as a homeowner with a nice green lawn.Reccomended Oil/grade for HONDA Air-cooled 4-stroke OHC single cylinder 4.4HP lawnmower engine?
