Default Mobil 1 oil and generator

seeing as how the synthetic is about $4-5 a quart and the real oil is
..89cents, i'd say you'd have to run it about 6 times as long. And i don't
thing running less than a quart of oil in a generator 600+ hours is a good
idea. I've only seen (in the 30 years since it came out) ONE, yes, (1)
legitamate reason to use synthetic oil. And that is to preserve the
injectors in a 6 liter navistar diesel. And even then it's still a crap
shoot.

It's not a waste of money if you run a generator a lot and it doubles or
triples the time between oil changes.
