non detergent oil is fine for lawn mowers but then lawn mowers do not as a rule have transmissions. the high tooth contact pressure in the transmission braking the oil down is probably the reason for the 300 mile change intervals .

That may be true but both type engines have something in common.
The are Air Cooled. ......lm

true but the important difference is the lawn mower engine is low output low rpm ..low stress ..kind of like comparing a sedan with an f1 car

This thread has gone on and on and I have done the same.
I've used ND since 1963 and NEVER a PROBLEM.
I'll put \it this way.
When I was racing Standing Super Lites in the Mickey Thompson series a real/experienced feller would ask how I had my Salisbury Drive System set up and I'd tell him.
He would then tell me how his was set up.
One day he asked me.
Why is that every time I tell you my set up you don't change yours?
I replied (Now Get This).
At present Rory (his 35+- year old son was the driver) and I are pretty much even as to who finishes ahead of the other.
Now if he starts winning more than I that's when I'll consider changing.
I know the workings of these 250/305 engines as good or better than some and I share my knowledge with others without even a request for a Thank You.
I've seen many engines ruined when someone comes up with a NEW WAY of doing what HONDA figured out years back.
Why would I consider changing something that I know WORKS FOR ME!
YOU WILL NEVER GIVE ME A REASON TO CHANGE THE TYPE OIL I USE.
I WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO MAKE YOU USE ND OIL. .................lm

i'm not wishing to further inflame the issue but i would like to point out that being so sure you are correct to the point of not listening to reasonable views if they differ from your own must make learning somewhat difficult ..I could of coarse be wrong ,perhaps some people truly do know it all .
