Thanks Ken. Good tip on the oil. I will probably use good old 10/30 in my 2 JD's as one is a 1986 and one is a 1996. But on the newer stuff even I should check the manuals now. LOL

I bought a Scag Liberty Z 48" August of 2019. It has the Kawasaki FR651V. The recommended weight oil is 20W50 for the hotter summer temps here in south Louisiana.

Kawasaki offers their synthetic blend oil in 20W-50 but as you said use only in hot summer weather.

My FR651 came with the bigger filter, but the smaller 7007 is about the only one I can source.

Use small engine oil and not automotive oil in the correct viscosity. Automotive oil is blended for fuel economy and for the emission control system in the cars, and small engine oil is blended for air cooled engines and has higher levels of Zinc and other anti wear additives.

@KensSmallEngineRepair 2 жыл бұрын

Not all have Zinc but the KAW oil does! Thanks for watching!

I’ve swapped out all 3 in a pinch, even the new Chinese MTD Powermore brand. As long as the threads are the same and the gasket lines up you are good to go. Just don’t use an oil filter in place of a hydraulic filter on a hydro machine! Thanks for watching!
