I asked that question a while ago,ordered a new motor from LL and Karen told me Mobil 1 fully synthetic 0w20 would be ok,oiled the old motor and stuck it back in the powerventer and it's still running,draft is slightly higher(.35, previous was .22) so I guess it's getting a few xtra rpms at the lowest setting on the rheostat. Mobil 1 has a blend says 5000 miles between changes,that is Not the one to get,the fully synthetic Mobil 1 says 15000 miles between changes,maybe a dollar more per quart than the blend(6.85),as opposed to 16 bucks an ounce for swg oil.I'll let youall know if it dies.
