blew engine cause of low oil.... junk the mower engine & replace or pitch the whole mower... your choice
My first thought is a dead battery. You should charge it and see if that helps. If not get your battery checked as it may no longer be able to hold a charge. If that is the case just buy a new one. A good battery with 385 cranking amps ie good for a 18+ hp engine will be around 25 to 40 bucks. Good luck
There are is a 18'' gasoline lawn mower at Wal-Mart for less than $100.

The Briggs and Stratton push mower tune-up kit includes a pack of Stabil, 18 ounce bottle of oil, spark plug and air filter, so the correct answer would be 18 ounces. Always check the oil level level after refilling.
Oil RecommendationSAE 30 40° F and higher (5° C and higher) is good for all purpose use above 40° F, use below 40° F will cause hard starting.10W-30 0 to 100° F (-18 to 38° C) is better for varying temperature conditions. This grade of oil improves cold weather starting, but may increase oil consumption at 80° F(27° C) or higher.Synthetic 5W-30 -20 to 120° F (-30 to 40° C)provides the best protection at all temperatures as well as improved starting with less oil consumption.5W-30 40° F and below (5° C and below) is recommended for winter use, and works best in cold conditions.Type of oil to useUse a high quality detergent oil classified "For Service SF, SG, SH, SJ" or higher.Do not use special additives.
