Made the trip to mom’s house to mow her lawn with her little Honda Harmony riding mower. Forgot to bring a quart of motor oil to top off the dipstick.
The oil level was “just” below the mark on the stick. That motor only takes ~1.5qt of oil, so there’s not much to loose (if a leak suddenly got worse), and I’m occasionally mowing on some hills.
There was a case of unopened Castro 10w-30 oil in her garage. My late dad bought it 20+ years ago. I shook a bottle up, opened it, and it looked like…oil.
To use or not? I added about about 1/2 to 3/4 cup.
Was it better than nothing? Or worse than (adding) nothing?
