Where can you buy white lawnmower oil?
You do realize you can use any oil in your White lawnmower and do not have to purchase White oil. White does not even manufacture oil and their oil is made by someone else. In fact White does even manufacture lawnmowers. Their lawnmowers are made by MTD. Purchase any name brand oil in the correct weight for your mower as recommended by the engine manufacturer. I do highly recommend you use a synthetic oil for any air cooled engine.

Why does aircooled engine blow white smoke?
White smoke will come out of a vehicle's exhaust system when the engine is cold. This is because of condensation build up in the engine and exhaust. The white smoke should go away after several minutes of idling. If you engine is always blowing white smoke, regardless of temperature, then it might be burning oil. Check the levels of your engine oil and your transmission fluid (if you have an automatic) and have the engine compression checked for blow-by.
