Oil Change For Honda GX35

just wondering how often i should be changing the oil in my motor?
It depends on how often you ride. I have a motorized bicycle and if I ride it to three times a week I will change it every week. I buy a quart of the four stroke motor oil and I got a old dawn bottle. Only uses like not even half a cup. When I emptied it I used McDonald's soda cup glass whatever you want to call it and it may be 2in on the bottom was oil.
 
Has anyone tried fully synthetic oil for better wear protection?
 
I use rotella synthetic 10w-40 works perfect on my 4-stroker

Also i did my first change at the 10 hour mark and since then i been doing it every 50-100 miles(calculated by my speedometer)

have had no problems

during the fall i switch to 10w-30 rotella synthetic
 
I would like to know if anybody has added a oil drain plug on the bottom of the Honda GX35 engine. I have a Schwinn trike with one and tilting the whole trike to drain the oil from the fill hole is not practical.
 
I spose a setup like that would benefit from using a suction pump to extract the oil:

Get a tachometer/hour counter. I change my oil every 25 hours and clean the air filter every 10 hours. You can find the t/hc's on eBay and they're very affordable. They have a single wire that wraps around the spark plug wire.
