Here’s the kicker; No Oil Changes in most applications during the "Useful Life" of the vehicle or equipment
Aside from the website looking like it was put together by a 3rd grader....
I guess when the engine fails, it’s useful life has come to an end.

I don't hear or see any install photos, Must be still waiting on that shipment from CHINA !!

My 4 cases showed up with in days of ordering.   Thanks to the OP for giving us a heads up on a great $$ deal.
Just sitting on the shelf waiting to put in at next oil change.
Have not noticed it "sludging up" in the container yet.

Pretty sure the manual has recommendations based on operating temps.

My 20-50 showed up 2 days after I ordered it. Yes, I too am waiting for some liquid water to use it.

I ordered and received 4 cases on the first go round.
Second time I ordered 2 more for me and 3 for a buddy, couple days later I received an email from Amazon that they had realized they had miss priced the the item ( 6 pack of VR1 20w-50) and would honor the price for 1 item not the full order. They will be sending me my order( reduced to 1 by them) shortly.
It was great while it lasted!

Generator is 12000 watts not sure on delta T , briggs isn't exactly forth coming in their manuals , but it runs like a scaled dawg during a hurricane in all kinds of weather. electric start too. survived ice storms of South Carolina. It does run a tad cooler on synthetic i checked on infrared gun.

VR1 update poured all mine in the yard to kill some weeds , cheaper than roundup.

Kinda conflicting statements
The term Delta T (ΔT) is the difference of temperature between two measuring points.

edit:   Pete types faster than I do

I guess it would be interesting to note delta T. Back in the late 70’s when I was at U if I aviation institute we were trying to get FAA approval for extending oil change intervals on training aircraft, since we hit 100 hour standard oil change times every few weeks on basic training aircraft. We ran Phillips 30 straight viscosity against the Ester-based Mobil One formulation and ran cyclic power/cooling to simulate lots of touch and go landings and ran the engines to 2000 hours. I wish I had access to the tear down photos. Measuring the Dino oil engine showed some pretty significant wear that would clearly require overhaul. The synthetic oil engine measured very close to a zero-time engine. I wasn’t there to find out if U if I got permission to extend drain intervals but I sure did start using synthetic oil on all of my engines large and small. I wish Mobil still made the gas to liquids formula—rumor that they do for some Euro-spec applications but don’t have any inside knowledge. I think Amsoil and others make gtl synthetics.

I’m betting that oil wasn’t even around back in my youth. Interesting—what r u flying around in?

That’s a nice little hot rod with very traditional lines. Did you build it yourself?

No liquid water for a few more months but I did break into the VR1. My 69 Bolens with the 12 HP Wisconsin single was due for a change and I figured I'd start running the 20-50 in it since I used my last quart of 30 a couple months ago.

I had been running this high tech straight 30:

Ross,
I highly recommend you do some reading about multi weight oils. Your statement tells me you don't know what the 20-50 means. FYI, the 20 is the base weight of the oil so a 20-50 acts like a straight 20 when it's cold. Then, when hot it acts like a 50 weight. Doesn't Amsoil have a FAQ section on their web site? Also, how familiar are you with a Wisconsin S-14d? BTW, I don't ice fish!!

Then when he gets done with that maybe he can read this
