Would it be ok to repalce the oil in my riding lawnmower with slick 50 instead of oil?

Answer 1

I used slick 50 in my first car- made the most horrible knocking after a few miles ( didnt blow up tho) - that stuff's expensive anyway. If you want to help the motor, you can use synthetic oil, normal oil used is an SAE 30 ( altho ive used 10w40 and 5w30 in a couple motors with no ill effects) . Ive seen on TV Royal Purple synthetic oil, Ive used that in a tractor motor with good results, the bad thing is its $8 a quart .
Before using slick 50 in a lawnmower , Id just use some good name brand SAE 30 weight oil, with some Lucas engine oil additive , its like $6 a bottle, you only need a lil bit. Ive used that in all my tractor motors and even in the transaxle of a racing tractor i own, and its still holding together.
Unless the tractor has an oil pump , theres not a whole lot you can do to help the motor, other then change the oil regular.

NO NO NO.

You need oil. It's okay to add Slick 50 to the oil, but don't use it by itself.

Why in the world would you want to? It will do nothing good for the engine. Good clean 30 wt is all that it wants. quit asking stupid questions.
