If your lawnmower is a 2 stroke mixing oil in the gas is what it needs to run right. If your lawnmower is a 4 stroke mixing oil in the gas fouls the plug and makes it not run.
Oil and gas - does it ruin you lawnmower engine?
Not really sure what you're getting at. If your lawnmower engine is a 2-stroke then you need a mixture of oil and gas to run it.
Why would a push lawn mower lock up?
A self propelled pushing lawnmower might stop operating because you may have gotten something caught in the blades. Or the operator might haver run out of energy. If a power mower. A possible reason. If you don't check the oil, you might have run out. Once the engine gets hot enough, without oil, it will seize up. This will render your lawnmower useless. Whenever you use your lawnmower, just like checking the gas, check the oil also. As running out of gas will stop the lawnmower temporarily, running out of oil can stop it forever.

What damage is done by running an engine without oil?

What do you do when gasoline is put into an oil and gas mixture lawnmower?
Assuming that you have not run it yet, your best move is to drain the gas tank and refill with the correct mix for your 2-cycle engine. You can pour some 2-cycle oil in the tank, close the cap, and rock the mower to mix. But without knowing exactly how much gas you put in the tank, you run the risk of an incorrect mix damaging your engine. Not worth it in my opinion.
What weight oil does a riding lawnmower take?
Depends on the engine, and how it's cooled. Air-cooled engines typically run quite hot, and a heavy oil is necessary (20W to 30W oil). Liquid cooled engines typically run a bit cooler and can run a lighter oil (15W to 20W). For example, I have a 5.5 HP Honda air-cooled engine on my push mower and it requires 30W oil. Best answer I can give you is check with your owner's manual or call/contact the engine manufacturer and they can give you a definite answer. Opt for synthetic oils with the manufacturer's recommended weight. Just like your car, lawnmower engines benefit from high grade synthetics, and the added cost for the oil is quite minimal.
