What are the opinions of using the Mobil 1 5w30 in a small (5 kw) home
generator ?
I have a Honda EU2000i. Break in using dino oil -- I used Castrol GTX
10w30. After break in, I've been using AMSOIL 100 Percent Synthetic
10W-30. Shortly before I got the genny (about 1.5 years ago), I did a
bit of web research and made the decision based on that. I don't know if
anything has changed (especially Mobil 1 vs Amsoil) since then.
Mobil has the $ to pay the best chemists $ can buy, Amsoil is about
marketing.
This site says something a little different:

Yep.
And here's the data, published by an unaffiliated source, that let's the
Amsoil president make those claims:

Oops! Wrong link.
The data in the above link was for "Amsoil(old)", here's the link that
contains data for both "old" and "new" Amsoil -- it's this one that
shows "Amsoil(new)" beating Mobil 1 in EVERY measure.
