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.
