Thread: Caution with E10 fuel

I think the domestic use service interval is check oil every ten years, replace every 20. I'm tempted to fill mine up with Ex-300Tdi sump oil and see how long it lasts.

To make it work hard, mow twice a year only !

... I get enough Honda's in that look like they've been running Ex-300Tdi sump oil for years ... they seem happy enough to do so ... it's the plain camshaft bearings that suffer ... long before the big end or other parts ... and that means new engine casings ... sorry, new engine

Yep.
