Default Mobil 1 oil and generator

What are the opinions of using the Mobil 1 5w30 in a small (5 kw) home
generator ?


I feel that the only real objective answer to that comes from scientific
testing and that is generally only done by the manufacturer. No one else is
likely to have tested various oils in that generator. That said, it seems
like a pretty good idea to me. When cold it sure makes it easier to start
than when using straight 30W.
