Likely beating a dead-horse but I am not sure why manufacturers use these type of charts. What does the arrow mean, anything above the last temp, good to the next temp, or try and interpolate the temp the arrow point ends at. This is for an air cooled 17HP Kawasaki engine and 10w30 and 10w40 are both recommended by Kawasaki in different areas. Also, the engine only has 5hrs on it and this will be the "break in" oil change, should I just go with straight 30w is that old school.
