what brand of oil?

[ddwilson]

I have both a QD-19 and CD-16 I have read everyone suggesting 24:1 so have that information and the tank is spotless with new hoses etc. Any one have a suggestion as to what oil is the best to use? In the past have used several different ones including lawnboy oil.

I think any TC-W3 oil would do fine, DD. Synthetic blends and full synthetic make less smoke and less carbon, but I used Walmart SuperTech from the first time it was offered and never had a problem. Also spent a lot less bux than the synthetics.

As JB. No issues with the supertech here either

Most important is it be TCW3 and mixed at 24:1 or 16:1, whichever is specified for your motor. I've used supertech, pennzoil, merc quicksilver, etc. etc., and haven't had any problems due to oil. I like the synthetic, but can't say whether it's worth it or not....
