I usually run Amsoil, but I had some SAE 30 bottles leftover, so I wanted to get rid of them.

The B&S SAE 30 is pretty stout oil. It’s good for 100 hours or yearly, whichever comes first.

That's good to know. I need this engine to last a long time!

I'll be switching back to Amsoil on the next go around.

I'm updating this thread to say that I'm about to take the D100 out for the first time since putting it back together. Before doing so, I wanted to test the mower deck and make sure everything works. I started the mower and noticed that the belt is engaged (turning) even though the PTO is not engaged. What adjustment do I need to make to keep the belt in a relaxed state when the PTO is not engaged?

I'd watch the oil consumption on that thin 10w-30 Amsoil. She's only a thin 10 grade dressed up with magic to play like a 30w at 212F. Can't beat some good ol' SAE 30w.

Since 10W-30 and SAE 30 have the same viscosity grade at operating temperature, so there won't be any problems. The 10W-30 is a better oil since I do my last mowing in November when the temperatures are much cooler. I want the cold weather protection as well as the warm weather protection.

The pulley system on the D100 loosened up after running the mower for a few hours, so I'm happy to report that everything works as designed. In total, we've mowed an estimated 7 acres.
