I change every year. I use Rotella 15w-40. I use it in our ATVs, UTVs, 2 Honda EU220s, small push mower, Goldwing and any small engine.

I had inherited a ZT Cub Cadet couple years ago, I had my Hustler and thought I did not need two Zero Turns. Now I wish I had kept it. I enjoyed mowing with it.

The one I had came with the welded deck not the stamped steel one. If memory serves it was an upgraded option. It was every bit as tough a deck as my Hustler and will serve a long time.

Changed the plugs in the ZT that @Okie4570 gave me.
should run a little better now.

This mower seems to be burning about a quart of oil to every tank of gas. Has around 335 hours on it
I am guessing the rings or valves may be shot
