You may want to check your manual for your particular mower. I used 30 weight oil in my old mower circa 1978.

A small push mower. A Lawn Boy Mower is best for hilly slopes because they don't have any oil in the bottom like a 4 stroke - the 4 strokes run out of oil if you run them on a hill, but the Lawn-Boys are 2 stroke.
Oil is a lubricant that helps to keep an engine running. If a person runs a lawn mower without oil, the mower will run, but it will cause problems like stalling out, or worse. +++ Its engine will run, but only for a very short time before seizing, probably ruining it.
If the lawn mower is run without oil, the connecting rod bearing will heat and score, or even "weld" to the crankshaft, causing major damage.
If all oil the mower will not start. If only a little oil, the mower may start but run rough and smoke very much.
Replace the engine...End of story.
The way to drain gasoline from a Briggs and Stratton lawn mower is to take the oil cap off and drain the oil. From there, run a rubber hose into the drain and siphon the rest of the oil and gas out.
No. If you run it when the oil is low you run the risk of damaging your engine.AnswerSome lawn mower engines will shut themselves off if the oil runs low, adding oil will allow the engine to restart and continue with out damage. Other engines if they quit due to low oil level are ruined.
You will burn the motor up, which will be a very costly repair.
In cooler temperatures it's ok, but in hot weather run a thicker oil.
Cub Cadet riding lawn mower's use 30-weight oil. Keeping the oil changed in your Cub Cadet will prolong the life of the mower, and help it run smoothly and efficiently.
