A quality straight 30 weight. Change it before putting it away for any length of time (winter, summer etc..) No need for the old stuff to sit in there just to be re-mixed again when you need to use it. And, it'll be ready to go when you are. Change it a couple of times if used much. I'm a Castrol user that has never been let down by the quality.

What kind of oil should you use in a craftsman 7.0 horsepower walking lawnmower with a Briggs and stratton engine?

Briggs & Stratton recommends high quality detergent straight 30 weight but this can result in hard starting and may damage the engine at colder (below 40 F) temps. Multi-viscosity standard automotive oils (5w-30, 10w-30, etc.) are acceptable but will result in very high oil consumption at ambient temperatures over 40 F, and may void your warranty. High quality synthetic multi-viscosity oils are best for all temperatures.
