    Is it a Briggs? They usually take 30w or 10w30 if you are using it in colder conditions.
    without knowing the Engine make and model its a guess. Some engines take 10w40.

    Y'know, though I'm not sure why, I forgot to top up my lawn mower with engine oil for a year or two. Was driving it last year and suddenly there was a massive bang and lots of smoke, engine had a hole in it. #FridaySharing
