Can I put regular 10w30 motor oil in my lawn mower?




Ashley


Will it mess up my lawn mower?


Answer
I use Castrol GTX in all my yard tools. The only differences between a $2.50 quart of GTX and $6.95 pint of the correct stuff is price and quality. GTX is less expensive and its a real formulation that will clean better than the "Correct" stuff.

Now if you are mixing it with gasoline for a 2 cycle engine the exact opposite is true. The additives that make GTX good as a motor oil make it very bad as a 2 cycle oil. Stick with straight oil designed for mixing in 2 cycle engines.

is Auto Motor Oil okay for Lawn Mowers?

i saw some oil at sears that said '' specially formulated for 4 cycle air cooled engines '' but is any 10w 30 car motor oil all right for a self propelled mower?


Answer
Yeah, specially formulated and specially high priced. My mower has been running on the same oil as I use in my car since I bought it in 1992. Worst thing for your mower is that @#$%&^ ethanol gas we're stuck with now. The alcohol content destroys the seals in the carbs on small engines. And if they go to 15% like they're talking about it will only get worse.
