Absolutely, positively, no! Non-detergent oil will destroy the engine over time. Use SAE 10W30 oil. I recommend synthetic oil in any Air Cooled engine.

Can you use 2-stroke oil for your lawnmower?

Using 2-stroke oil in a lawnmower is not recommended unless the mower is specifically designed for a 2-stroke engine. Most lawnmowers operate on 4-stroke engines, which require a different type of oil, typically SAE-rated motor oil. Using 2-stroke oil can lead to improper lubrication, increased emissions, and potential engine damage. Always consult the owner's manual for the appropriate oil type for your lawnmower.
