I have a Craftsman 19.5 hp lawn tractor that was new in 2000. There is a sticker under the hood on the right side that says it takes 48 ounces of oil, the owner's manual says 3 pints.
Most likely 1 quart. Check the manual or put some in until it's full.
10w 30
30 weight oil can use car oil or lawnmower oil same oil
Any straight 30 weight should do.
30 wt
5w30
10W30 can be used, but SAE30 is best. 10W30 can run a bit hot, in warmer climates.
Yes 10w30 is a good oil for snowblower or lawnmower.
Only if you want to destroy that engine over time which is what will happen if you use 2 cycle oil. Use only SAE 10w30 synthetic oil any major brand.
In moderate temperatures, as in a lawnmower used in summer, most will use straight 30W oil.
Most small engines use 30 weight non-detergent type.
SAE 10w30 all year round or SAE 30 if it is only used in the summer. Use 100% Synthetic oil in this air cooled engine.
Craftsman lawnmower parts could easily be found on ebay or kijijii. You could also check out the manufacturer's website as well, as they may have some special deals or coupons you could use.
Yes you can but if you are using a 10W30 oil be sure it is synthetic or buy a straight grade SAE 30 Weight Oil. Why? A standard oil (non synthetic) 10W30 oil has too many VI improvers.. additives that will break down in an application such as a lawnmower and cause the oil to no longer be a 30 weight oil. It will quickly become a 20 Weight SAE oil that will no longer protect the engine. A synthetic 10W30 Small Engine oil does not have any of these VI improvers to break down and cause the oil to lose it's viscosity rating. Basically.. do not use a standard 10W30 Car oil for your lawnmower.
