I use the brand oils, however I got 2 cases of RK oil on sale for under $2. Use multi grade oils in my 20 hp kohler work fine up to 60 hours. From 60-75 hrs it seems to brake down and engine starts using oil. I'm at 60 hrs, oil is clean and full. In 15 hrs I'll be changing it to RK 30w detergent. Let you know what happens.
The hydraulics in my terramite calls for 10w40, 5 gallons, change every 300 hrs. I've always used the brand names. Last time I slipped and went 375 hrs. Oil, for the first time, was dirty and smelled bad. The oil must have broken down or something.
Next change I'm trying RK. If nothing else change it more often. In the past, 300 hrs, the oil that came out was like new, clean and no smell. I would filter it and use it my 25 year old mowers.
I have a friend that like to push oil changes on a chevy malabu. Her car will go 3000 miles, uses no oil. 4000 miles, 1/2 quart. 5000 miles 1 1/2 quart. Beginning to think the oil the chevy dealer uses, is like the oil in my kohler, it's breaking down and engine is using it.
My new kawasaki mule calls for a special MC oil. It's not cheap. Because it new, I'm going with the expensive stuff.
My 60+ year old tractors is getting switched to RK, so are my mowers.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
