4 Stroke Lawn Mower Oil Additives

[Lawn_Care]

During the summer months I use either Rotella or DELO 15w40. Small air cooled engines in the summer heat run quite hot and have marginal cooling. For me, it's well worth the piece of mind running a 40-wt oil. My Z-turn has the Kawasaki FR691V engine, which also seems to love a 40-weight in the summer.

I use HDEO's in all my air cooled engines. Just hard to beat their add packs, durability, price point, and availability.

YMMV, but I use mine quite regularly in the lawn care industry. (Solo operator, 20-25 lawns per week)

I hear this a lot: Kawasaki love 40 weight oil. How is that? Why do you know that? Did your engine tell you that?

Whatever oil you happen to have laying around will probably work just fine.

Unless it's olive oil...
