Just switched to Brad Penn 20w50 per my trusted mechanics request who spends his day rebuilding air cooled engines.
The real question is whether this thread will go 10 pages......

I am a BP fan as well.My guess is at least 20 pages because this is a new and exciting topic which has not really been covered

The slippery kind. Whatever is recommended in the owner's manual.
I use Mobil 15W-50 synthetic. I think that is close enough.
For a topic that causes so much concern, there must be a lot of oil related engine failures out there.

Could be fine. Oil gets black-ish pretty quickly. And it could be pretty "thin" in flow viscosity, if you drain it after a proper warm-up.
Miles on the drain interval? How old? Did you add any oil in between?
Blackstone can do an UOA for about $25. One test will tell you a lot, but not everything.
