More than likely you filled it up beyond the recommended capacity. Check the level on the dipstick and if it shows more than the recommended capacity, drain some oil out of the engine. If it is a push mower, you can turn the mower on its side just enough to drain a small amount at a time. Or, you can access the oil drain plug from underneath the engine. Most riding mowers will have the drain plug on the side of the engine. The engine may continue to smoke until all the oil in the combustion chamber is burned off.
the smoking is most likely caused by the engine burning oil.
No... it was ran low on oil & siezed up. junk mower now.
It depends if the smoke is blueish it is burning oil .I it is black it is usually over fueled.
No for your lawn mower you will just need regular lawn mower oil.
If you put it in for engine oil you will have a major problem. If you put it in with the fuel then you will notice the mower smoking a lot and possibly fouling the spark plug.
where do you put the oil at for a john deere 317 riding lawn mower and what brand of oil
Mine doesn't smoke after adding oil, it runs great. Does yours? Maybe you put too much oil in it or the wrong thickner?
What type of oil does a craftsman riding mower take
I use two stroke oil
No, its need fuel
4 cycle mower.... gas is separate from oil!
If its a push lawn mower. It has no oil release. The mower burns the oil. All you do is replace the oil when it gets low.
