What happens if you put gas in the oil part of a lawnmower?

Apparently you didn't crank it up. You are still here. Nothing except it may clean out some old dirty oil. Remove the gas and the oil and discard same. Refill the oil section and refill the gas tank. Don't do that again.

What kind of oil do is needede for a craftsman platinum 7.25 lawnmower?

If the lawnmower has two compartments one for gas and the other for the oil, then put gas in the gas and a 30w type oil in the oil compartment. Simple as that. If you have an engine with only one compartment then you'll need to check on the manufacturers suggestions which is usually 40:1 or something close.

What happens if you put chainsaw gas in you lawnmower?

You can cut down trees with your lawnmower. Warning: Do not actually try to cut down a tree with your lawnmower. More than likely, the gas in the chainsaw is mixed with 2-cycle oil. If your mower also has a 2-cycle engine, nothing will happen. If your mower has a 4-cycle engine, the engine will probably smoke (bluish in color) until the oil is burnt up during combustion. At worst, the oil in the 2-cycle oil/gas mixture will foul up the spark plug and you will probably have to clean it pretty often until the oil is burnt up.

Automotive oil is identical to lawn mower oil. They are both internal combustion engines. I would however recommend you use 100% Synthetic oil in that air cooled lawnmower engine.


Can you put mixed gas in a lawnmower?

Do you mean "mixed gas" as in oil/gas mixture? Then unless it calls for it then the answer is no. If you do and it is a normal 4 stroke engine then it will cause excessive smoking and will eventually foul the carburetor and combustion chamber up. Good luck.
