Personally I don't think Amsoil is the best, nor is Royal Purple any better or worth the cost. (I have seen other oils destroy RP in other tests too. I used to have a sponsorship from ENEOS oil from Japan who were the first and I believe still the only company producing a high grade 0W-50 oil I used in my turbo cars when I used to road race. They supplied us with numerous test charts showing results "claimed" for various oils, including used oils, and found many of the "A" brands were not holding up-As I didnt witness the actual tests I will not vouch for them either but the oil was good.)
I am currently using Valvoline Synthetic with Purolator Pure One filters. The best thing about the Valvoline is the 300,000 mile warranty they also give which helps in addition to the "lifetime" warranty of the powertrain. The Pure One Filter is one of the best multi-pass filters out there at 99.9% efficient. The Mobil 1 is also pretty good.
Bottom line...Change your oil no matter what type you use!

Then why did you ask if you already have an opinion??? LOL And any engine, especially a "lawn mower", can run for "awhile" with a slick oil coat....until the oil can no longer stay cool, cokes and warps/destroys the metals and freezes up.

Well for the first few oil changes I am gonna let the dealer do them in fact I have 4600km and 2 oil changes already just because of time. 3 months or 5000km that is my method. I think that as long as you do a proper maintenance schedule then your oil is probably coming out clean like mine mostly looks. Just the first one at 2000 was dirty. This one the dealer did by accident Ididn't ask them to it was in for recalls and rrts and getting my uconnect working.
I think when you have the dealer do it, they keep a record so you don't even have to. They call me if I forget to come in, although the schedule in the book says 10000km or 6 months, with this 5w20 water we have to use I can't imagine going that long.
