Whatever leftover oil I have laying around. Btw I never change oil in lawnmowers or snowblower.
15w40 diesel motor oil.
Best advice I heard for lawnmower oil was just use that weird oil laying around that you can't use in your vehicles or boats anymore.Quote:

My Deere riding mower calls for 10W 30. The old Honda push mower has some old Amsoil left over. I don't recall what weight it is but the darn thing won't die.
