Was wondering if anyone else might possibly mention using Rotella T6.. A lot of people still think of it as the red headed step child of the oil world in atvs especially.Just drained the oil out of my riding mower after 50 hrs hard use this past summer and the T6 still looked pretty clean. T6 went right back in it. Little over 6 bucks a quart for a heavy duty full synthetic versus the other brands,this old man ain't gonna pass this up. Just hope they don't raise the price up to what all the other synthetics cost.. Again just my old two cents worth on this. I'll shut up now.. 
They just lowered the price on it too.
Just a note to the op if he goes full synthetic to make sure to get a filter with synthetic media like the Mobil 1, KN, or Amsoil filters.
I use the Mobil 1-110 in my bikes and razor and even honda cars.

I'm Not sure but like Amsoil I think Mobile1 only comes in Full synthetic , also I never seen 0w-## anything available in conventional or even a blend.
Blends are a rip off with only 10-20% synthetic at most. If a person was to go with blends you can mix it yourself. Right on the label with Amsoil it states its "compatible with conventional oil", so atleast you can mix it 50/50 or better.

Thanks for the reply guys!
I have used Mobil 1 in my vehicles for years so I think I am going to got with the Mobil one full synthetic. I buy all my filters for my vehicles from NAPA. I see they have a listing for the NAPA Gold filter for both machines so I will use them.
Thanks,
Mike

The Gold is better than their basic filter but the Platinum is still recommended for full syn. I pretty sure gold is just for conventional oil.
If you're going to spend the money on full syn, get the right filter and it will also filter better so it's worth the extra money especially if you ride in dusty conditions.
