lawn mower oil question

[JAZZ]

I've called a number of service departments, looked through the catalog and googled away to frustration. What do you folks use in riding mower and a push mower in hot weather ?

Why not just use 30 weight if you only use it in warm weather?

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.

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.

The OP said lawn mower.......

Most small engines, are not made to the close tolerances, of others. Most oils will be fine.

I use M1 20w-50 air cooled motorcycle oil in my air cooled 2015 Kawasaki tractor engine. Most motorcycle oils have more zinc in them that air cooled engine need.

Use M1 10w-40 air cooled motorcycle oil Honda push engine.
