A 20hp mower typically requires about 1.5 to 2 quarts of oil, depending on the engine design and manufacturer's specifications. It's essential to check the owner's manual for the specific oil capacity and type recommended for your mower's engine. Regular oil changes and maintaining the correct oil level help ensure optimal performance and longevity.
