Four-stroke lawn mowers have a tube where you add oil to the engine. On two-stroke engines, oil has to be added to the fuel. (Four-stroke and two-stroke are also called four-cycle and two-cycle, respectively).

What kind of oil do you put in lawn mowers - 2 stroke or 4 stroke?
Almost all lawn mowers are 4 stroke engines that use regular gasoline (no additives except maybe some StaBil when you store it for winter) and ordinary motor oil, the same used in cars in the crankcase. Usually you would put 10W30 or 10W40 in their crankcases. Briggs and Stratton engines are on most lawn mowers, though Tecumseh is also common. Some have Honda small engines. I suppose two stroke lawn mowers exist but they are the vast minority. You do not add 2-stroke oil to the gas like a chain saw or weed eater. If the mower does happen to be a 2-stroke, I'm certain it would be plainly labeled, probably on the gas cap.

How do you fix lawnmower which has petrol in the oil reservoir?
For most lawn mowers, especially those with a 2-stroke engine, the petrol and gas are mixed to ensure lubrication of moving parts. 4-stroke engines (as commonly found on ride on mowers), usually have the oil and petrol separated. If you have a 4-stroke engine, then you need to disassemble it and replace the piston rings to stop the petrol from leaking into the crank case.
Can you use 2 cycle engine oil in a lawn mower?
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.

Two-cycle lawnmower engines are rare.

Does lawn mower gas work in a dirt bike?
The gas used is the same. You just need to be sure that neither one of them are 2 cycle. Or that they both are 2 cycle. Most lawn mowers are 4 stroke whcih means they use the straight gas right out of the pump. Dirt bikes can use straight gas or gas mixed with oil.
