If it is a 4-cycle engine you definitely need motor oil. If its a 2-cycle engine then the oil is mixed with the gas. If its a reel mower then no oil is needed except for external lubrication.
Depending on the engine manufacturer the 4-cycle engines will require either SAE30 or 10w30 motor oil.

Use the cheapest oil (in the long run): Amsoil synthetic.
