squonk 43,202 #3 Posted November 29, 2013 I run 30 W Rotella detergent year round with no problems. Have done it for 25 yrs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 58,979 #4 Posted November 29, 2013 If you have inside warm storage for your I would use 30 W all year. If not, go with the 5-30 in those Maine winters. As for the gas, use the ethanol free gas only. If you don't know where to get it go to buyrealgas.com and put in your zip code, it will show the nearest places that cary it. The price is a bit higher, but you don't need to doctor it up and replace fuel ilnes etc. that the ethanol will destroy. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
