Probably best if I don't change the oil so it thins out (less friction) and that should help.

Every time I go to pull the trigger on blowers I buy a car, or snowmobile, or ATV. Been on one hell of a roll lately. Can't even afford to renew my membership now. :lolhit:

Joey, I think thats a better question for Borgie, as far as how much power you will gain from the oil change.

If you have questions about mounting blowers on your engines, and making that 12 Meter wake up from its slumber, call me! :drink:

As a point of information, the motor oil standards do not mandate lower zinc & phos levels for what they consider heavy duty motor oils (15W-XX and above), and they can run whatever levels they want and still be SJ/SM, etc rated. Hence why Mobil 1 15050 can be rated SM and still have 1300+ ppm zinc and phos (levels I see on the used oil analysis from M1 15W-50).

Just curious to know why you guys don't like merc oils? I know know it's brand specific but they recommend it in all there big hp engines.
