It has a Briggs engine, and since I want to use it for all season use, it was clearly the best choice.

No issues at all with it.

Not cold enough for 10W30 or 5W30 for my vehicles to be any issue at all. All in line with manufacturers recommendations. I've included the average yearly temps here. Coastal Virginia Average yearly temperatures High °F Low °F Place High 69 52 Back Bay Wildlife Reserve 71 47 Colonial Beach 70 53 Hampton 69 47 Mathews 71 51 Newport News 68 52 Norfolk 68 50 Painter 69 51 Suffolk 67 52 Tangier Island 69 49 Williamsburg

LOL This is too cold for the wife and me now that we are full of blood thinners and other strange effect meds. I would like to move on down south or maybe even the Virgin Islands. I love St. Thomas.
