would you recommend AMSoil breakin or Royal purple breakin,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,should i change the filter as well when changing the breakin to standard oil?

[@MowerMike]

I am an Amsoil man but is easy getting the RP on Amazon. Yes I suggest changing the filter if you have one to make sure all the oil is the same type

[@davidcheser713]

How long will you leave the break in oil in before changing

[@MowerMike]

I just ran it for two mows or around 3 hours. Not sure on how long it should be

[@PhD_Lawn_Service]

And now that mower is worth even less
