All lawnmowers I have used have had Briggs & Stratton 4-cycle engines, therefore I buy Briggs & Stratton 30-weight lawnmower oil at Walmart, Home Depot, or Lowe's. It is said to formulated to be more suitable to the conditions under which a small engine is used. That being said, I have also used just about every grade of automotive oil with no ill effects seen. Just make sure that it is either 30 or 40 summer weight -- the winter weight (the smaller number with a W after it)doesn't matter.
