[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3925411, member: 5412"] I was wondering why all the hate on synthetic oil. I've ran it in my small engines as well as the ATV and ATC with zero issues for many years now. My Super Duty F-250 runs it as well. Edit: Break in oil for rebuilt engines is non detergent. I haven't rebuilt an engine in many years, but that was what was done back then. I have edgers, rototillers, zero turn mowers, etc that all run on synthetic. Back in the day the log splitter that I built couldn't be started in cold weather with a pull start as the dino oil was too thick. We would have to use propane torches to warm up the oil before it would thin out enough to get the rpm's it needed to start. Changed to synthetic and it started anytime the rope was pulled. Still does to this day. [/QUOTE]
