Save the 30wt for summer and go get some 10W 30.

Here is mine ready to go. Oil was changed today.












I've got the biggest CCA battery I could find under the hood and I typically put a trickle charger on it 12 or so hours before I anticipate using it to help turn that big 14 HP over.

Looks like the 147 is ready! You use that machine a lot. Ever wonder how many hours would be on the clock if you had one?
