I hadn't heard of this solution before. Why do they all run lean today? Ethanol?

Neigbor just had the same issue with his Briggs check and add oil series Briggs powered Murray. He got 1year and 3 months from it. Never changed the oil, added a quart over the course of the year and few months
Valve stuck and bent a pushrod.
The Briggs check and add oil series won't last of you take care of them or you don't.
