What type of oil is safe to use in Troy-Bilt lawn mowers?

Troy bilt lawn mower oil - Most Troy-Bilt lawn mowers accept SAE-5W30 motor oil. The SAE suggests different viscosities for various temperature ranges. If you have an older two-stroke mower (extremely rare), you may need to mix oil and gasoline according to the owner's instructions. However, you can obtain an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) brand from TroyBilt.com under the MTD brand (the parent company to Troy-Bilt). Briggs and Stratton If your lawnmower has a dipstick, it needs oil.

Because you will only be using your mower in the summer, SAE-30 oil has a fixed viscosity (versus your car, which needs a multi-viscosity oil so it can use the same oil in conditions ranging from 100 degrees F to -20 degrees F). Or use my link above in the "Parts" category to get a quart. The only major change is the location of the drain plug. In my situation, Briggs and Stratton.

SAE 10W30 oil has a viscosity of 10W at low temperatures and 30W at high temperatures. Fill the crankcase with oil by inserting a funnel nozzle into the fill slot. At typical operating temperatures, 5w-30 has the same flow rate as SAE30.
