If you did not put oil in the mower the engine would seize in very short order. Oil is always required to lubricate all internal engine parts.

Where do you put in the gas on a lawn mower?

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.

What kind of oil for a Craftsman 6.5 hp lawn mower?

Craftsman 6.5hp lawn mowers can use two kinds of oil--"HD 30" oil, which is a single-weight SAE 30, or the same oil you put in your car. (If you have a Honda lawn mower, you have to run multigrade oil in it.) I always have a case of 5W30 Castrol sitting there, and that's what I use because it's right there already. I also have some 15W40 Rotella on hand, but I wouldn't put that in a lawn mower--it's too thick. (Works good in a Cummins ISX, though.)
