Question for you: What do you think about using Sea Foam in the tank instead of Stabil?
Your answers:
XPS lubricants/oil. Yes any marine grade oil will work. If this was a car I swap oil brands all the time. For my small engines I pretty much match the brands. For instance I would use XPS in my Seadoos. I use John Deere tractor oil in my JOhn Deere tractor. I've had plenty of instances where these things don't start when you want them to so one little thing I can eliminate is better for me.
I bet the locktite on the bolts for the winter is being used like an anti-sieze anti rust. Plus it ENSURES the bolts stay in the 1 million off chance should they come loose sitting in storage. New O-ring wouldn't hurt.
Oil filter. Yeah I think you can cross reference another brand but like the oil on my small engines, Suzuki GSXR600 in this example, I use a Suzuki filter.
