What oil weight should I use in a 1958 2HP B&S

Specs call for SAE30 detergent and is available everywhere.
Of coarse this was before the days of synthetic lubricants, so.... I would stick with dino based oils.
Just curious... why the preference for synthetic?

You're wasting your money putting synthetics in lawn equipment and like engines, imo.

There'd be no sludge if people just adhered to a regular OCI...and the interval for a Briggs is typically every 25 hrs. That's how you filter the oil--you change it out.
