As far as the 10 year oil change, coming from my perspective that's criminal in my book A quart of SAE30 costs about $3 and is a 5 minute job.....

Well, it's not used that much. I'm lucky if it's got more than 10 hours on it over the last 10 years. There's one area of the yard that is impossible to get with the tractor. I cut that with it and not much else.

That said, it is getting a change this summer.

This Honda is amazing. My wife bought it second hand before we met. It was a few years old then. I had to do the first repair on it last week. Had to replace the starter rope. It broke up north at camp and I started the thing by using a shoe string so I could finish and get it home. Amazing.

As for the gas issue, other than the unique issues with boats, gas will not go bad that quickly, even with ethanol. A few months should not be an issue. My two classic cars start right up every spring without issue and all I do is change the oil and fill the tank in the fall.
