Small engine oil type recommendations:

Different oil types can work best at certain temperatures. Learn which one to choose for your climate:

• SAE 30- Warmer temperatures, most common oil for small engines
• SAE 10W-30- Varying temperature range, this grade of oil improves cold weather starting, but may increase oil consumption
• Synthetic SAE 5W-30- Best protection at all temperatures as well as improved starting with less oil consumption
• SAE 5W-30- Very cold temperatures
• Vanguard 15W-50- Varying temperature range. For continuous-use, such as commercial lawn cutting or pressure washing

When choosing lawn mower oil, use a high quality detergent oil classified as 'For Service SF, SG, SH, SJ' or higher. Do not use special additives.

Synthetic oils are an acceptable oil at all temperatures. Use of synthetic oil does not alter required oil change intervals.
