Depends on the lawnmower. Some older lawn mowers used two-stroke engines, and you mixed the two-cycle oil with the gas. But 99% of modern lawnmowers use a four-stroke engine with a crankcase. So if the question is: "Can I use two-cycle oil in the crankcase?" the answer is an emphatic NO. It will likely destroy the engine.

Is your lawn mower 2 cycle or 4 cycle?
Look at the engine on your lawn mower. If the engine has an oil filler tube or a "hole" with a cap on it where oil is added to the engine, it is a 4-cycle (4-stroke) engine. If there is no oil filler tube or place to add oil to the engine, then it is a 2-cycle (2-stroke) engine and the oil has to be added to the fuel.

Does your lawn mower require 2 cycle engine oil?
If it is a 2-stroke engine, 2-cycle engine oil is added to the gasoline. If the engine is 4-stroke, regular 30W motor oil is used. To tell if your engine is 2-stroke or 4-stroke, look for a spout where oil is poured into the engine. If there is no spout, then the engine is 2-stroke and 2-cycle oil must be added to the gasoline.
