It's better to make your gas/oil mixture richer, i.e. more oil added, than leaner, i.e. less oil added. A leaner mixture, such as 50:1 will make your motor run "hotter", but won't give enough lubricity to the piston, resulting in shorter life for your mower. You should use AT LEAST a 32:1 mixture, and a 25:1 won't hurt it, but it might make it smoke a little, and might eventually foul your spark plug. But at least you'll know your piston and cylinder are getting plenty of lubrication.

Yes it will. Not enough oil to lube it will ruin the bearings, then your motor is junk .
