what oil weight should i use for my craftsman 6hp B&S, ive always topped it with 5/20 but it needs a change now

Answer
Your manual should recommend an oil for it. Most mowers take STRAIGHT SAE30 (NOT multi-viscocity such as SAE10W30 for example) oil. You can get the oil from your hardware store or yet much cheaper from your auto parts store (remember, no multi-viscocity). On most mowers, you have to turn it to its side to get the old oil out then once drained, put the new oil in. While at it, check the spark plug, clean it and gap it, or replace it if necessary. Sharpen the blade using a file and you are ready to go for another season !

I own a 4-stroke push lawn mower and am wondering do I put in regular car motor oil or a special oil?
Answer
Good quality motor oil (ie: Castrol) changed every 25-50hrs.
Oil change frequency/viscosity is dependent on your location/usage/filtered or not.
Neither this or the air cleaner are places to try and 'save' money - heard of false economy?
Never had a problem running Castrol GTX 20w50 multi viscosity oil although
Royal Purple 15w40 full synthetic has been the norm for the last 10yrs round here.
