You know, its interesting that we are seeing damage in these small engines,
yet, engines that have what I would call pretty severe service in tight
engine compartments go 200K to 300K miles on this stuff and rarely miss a
beat. ??

I've been running a snow blower and several lawn mowers on the stuff for
years, of course I use STABIL when they sit, or drain them completely, and
have them running on full synthetic oil, too.
