I notice that most times on the board that it's recomended to use the same wieght oil in the breather that is used in the engine. My question is, that for people that use a multi-grade oil such as 10W-30 or 10W-40 since the oil isn't being heated in the breather, which I understand causes the polymers in the oil to expand and thicken the oil it would be the same as using straight 10 weight oil. Would this be too light of an oil? Of course straight 30W would be just that and a whole lot thicker. Anybody got any opinions?

Thanks

Phil, The subject of what oil to use is likely to get 5 different opinions from the first 3 people you talk to, but in a cold climate like Iowa has in the winter I normally use 10W-40 in the winter and likewise in the filter. Your right about 10W- anything I think, at least I know if it's 5 degress out I wouldn't want straight 30 or 40 weight oil in my breather! Choke time. In the spring, summer, or early fall I'll use whatever's handy in the filter. I'm sure you'll get other opinions as well. Safe tractorin, Fred
