30W for summer
A 17.5 horsepower Murray riding lawnmower should always have 1.5 quarts of oil in it. You may have to add more than that after an oil change because some of the oil will go down into the oil filter.
I use mobil 5w30 and it works pretty good
If you raise the hood of the mower up it should have it on the yellow detailed sticker of mower. Normally 10w30
What type of oil does a craftsman riding mower take

where do you put the oil at for a john deere 317 riding lawn mower and what brand of oil
Many riding mower don't have oil filters. If your's does it is on the side of the engine toward the bottom and probably on the left side as you sit on the mower.
Car oil
SAE 10w30 weight. I highly recommend you use synthetic oil in any air cooled engine and change it once each year.
Cub Cadet riding lawn mower's use 30-weight oil. Keeping the oil changed in your Cub Cadet will prolong the life of the mower, and help it run smoothly and efficiently.
