1. Maybe just the thing for worn 4 stroke small engines!
   I own a 2510 Kawasaki 4WD MULE with 1350 hard hours on it, over the last 18-20 years. Starts instantly, good compression, idles… but.. engine is getting a little “noisy”; Piston slap? Rod bearings? I dunno. Still runs strong but time to pay closer attention. I used to run straight 10-40 in it but lately have been trying several different oils, viscosities and synthetics.
   I do think this 20-50 synthetic blend is what I have been looking for- Much quieter running after it warms up.
   IMPORTANT NOTE: The manufacturer issued a lengthy caution which I fully considered- DO NOT use this oil in motorcycles or ATVs that have “wet clutches”. I get it. This oil may cause clutch slippage for reasons I totally understand.
   That said, the MULE DOES NOT have a wet clutch. It has an external- torque converter with a belt. So clutch slippage isn’t a concern with this engine and drive. I also own a KAWA Prairie 650 4 Wheeler. Same external torque converter. I am putting this oil in my wheeler, next change.
   FURTHER CONSIDERATION: This is heavy- thick oil which could cause starting problems in sub freezing temperatures, The MULE is in a building that is kept at minimum 35F. No problem. I also noted that when I shut the engine down then restarted it, it might take 30 seconds-to one minute for the low oil light to come on, on a restart. I consider this good. This means oil in the system remains under pressure for a minute or two after shut off.
   I have other antique small engines and am going to try this oil in them. If it works as good as I believe it will, it will go into all my small engines.
   I’ve used Castrol oil on-off for decades. As good or better than any, Zero negatives. AMAZON is the only place I could find this 20-50 synth blend. Price is right for a gallon $5.00 quart. Beat that with a stick? I repair and keep all my small engines running. If this oil proves to be as good as I think it will be , I’m going to pass this along to my veteran small engine repair pal who probably doesn’t know this exists. I think Castrol nailed it!

3. Best Oil Out There (IMHO)
   Castrol is the best oil in my opinion. You might pay a little more, but it’s cheap insurance for you engine.
   And please, change your oil at 3,000-5,000 miles tops! Once again, cheap insurance.

4. Motor oil
   Can’t beat Castrol for perfection. I run this stuff in everything. I currently run the 20/50 in my Harleys I’ve never lost an engine.

   I use this as a good quality oil when I’m not worried about buying the best.

7. “Motor Oil” for Transaxle Zero Turn.
   My Husqvarna MZ-54 uses 20w-50 Synthetic Blend Motor Oil, for ZT-3100 Hydro-Gear Transaxles.
   I ordered this Castrol GTX. 20w-50 and did a full complete service on my Zero Turn. Changed all oils
   and all filters, and full tune-up. The Manual for my mower schedules to change oil at 400 hours on Hydro-Gears. I will keep a check on oil level and how it looks, I will see, time will tell.
