I used to run dino oil in my lawn mowing equipment which required at least one oil change during the season. For the last half dozen years or so, only thing the mowers get is wally world full syn 10w-30 and a new filter, once per season and sometimes I go 2 years because of little use and clear oil. Running Kohler, Honda, BS, some Chinese from 26 V twin Vanguard to 5 hp.
What you CAN do for your machine as Jeffcat mentioned several years ago, is to run premium gas and get some iridium spark plugs. My engines, especially 2 strokers (with 2 stroke full syn oil) scream with premium fuel. On the Iridium plugs, I have a 2011 Silverado that comes with them and they are 100k mile replaceable items. Just bought a 2009 Honda Element for trips to the doctor and other tight parking go to town trips. Was at 108k miles. Changed the fluids and popped the plugs for a check. OEM original plugs, also scheduled at 100k replacement intervals (but wasn't done by PO) were "clean as a whistle" (the insulators were still bright white) and very slight pointing of iridium tip but still within gap spec. Replaced them but didn't need to.

Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad.
