what kind of oil is use for lawn motor?

Question

using gas motor is diesel oil good for the motor

Answer 1

Use Non-Detergent 30 weight.

Answer 2

there may be some confusion over your question.

If you have a 2 cycle gas engine, and have to mix oil with the gas, then you need to use 2 cycle oil.

If you are talking about a 4 cycle engine, The use what the manufacturer recommends. It will usually be marked somewhere on the engine near the oil fill knob. 30 weight is normal but check it out.

Answer 3

I have always used Rotella 15W-40 oil in mine because this oil is meant for both diesel and gas engines and since I am in the automotive business I know that this oil will last and survive anything, it has not let me down for over 20 years.

Answer 4

Slightly heavier than diesel; lawn mower engines get much hotter than gas or diesel engines.
