I now see why you made your first stupid mistake as you can’t read either. I said YOU can add me to your ignore list. Second, if you would look I’ve been here for over 11 years, plus I’ve got over 50 years of working on small engines and small engine equipment. I know that Bert is probably the most respected member of this forum and he doesn’t need any help standing up for his replies, but I can tell you that you can find hundreds of members who have thanked him for his help, myself included. I’m not going to ignore you, as I want to see your next mistake.

So I misread you about the ignore statement you made. I stand up to my mistakes as this thread title is proof of that. I am sorry for one thing. It is that I am not prefect as you are and never make mistakes. WOW!!! you been here a year longer than I have. Want a dinky button. If Bert or you can't help someone without insulting them, you should just move on and not reply at all. Since I am not on your ignore list please put me on it.

bertsmobile1,
You know nothing about oil. For you to say that 20W/50W is thicker than the thickest motor oil made in SAE30HD only serves to show you do not know what you talking about. Your last line shows everyone how much of a sick pervert you must be.

Multi-viscosity oils use chemicals called viscosity index improvers to allow the oil to flow differently at different temperatures. For example, they allow a 20W-50 oil to behave like a 20-weight oil when cold and a 50-weight oil when warm.J It was explained like this to me it acts kinda like spagetthi when dry if shrinks and when hot wet it expands. The viscosity improvers shrink when cold and expand when hot.

Now that makes complete sense. Even the owners manual says that using multi-grade oils for my engine will increase oil consumption, and to check the oil level more frequently when using them. That is why the Gravely dealer told me 17 years ago when I bought my Gravely new, to use SAE30 because of our very hot and humid climate. Thank you for your reply, hlw49.

Read my other post Slomo, the mower is fixed. (y)

Satman,
I replaced the Hydro filter, refilled it with the Mobile 1 15w50 full synthetic motor oil I had left from my 5 quart container, and purge the system by way of the bypass valves. I cut my 2 acres of land here at home, and everything turned out great.
