I run Valvoline in all of my stuff, and I have no problems. Why spend alot of money to get an oil that has the same viscosity. I did a science fair project on this in 6th grade and found out that there isn't any real temp differance between conv. vs syn. (1-3 F). I did tests on an old Briggs and Strattor generator, and for each test I unplugged my house from the grid and powered it with the generator for about a half hour at a time. What's the point in spending alot of money on motor oil? There's no real difference.

I asked the same question for the past two years and came up with the same answer: Maxima synthetic. My Honda Rubicon uses five quarts, a bit less, with the hydromatic transmission, so was concerned about what oil to use as the oil runs the transmission as well. The expense put me down to the next level, which was Amsoil 0W-40 synthetic and its been running fine for the past two years.
