What’s the Best Small Engine Oil for My Lawn Mower?

What’s the Best Small Engine Oil for My Lawn Mower?

For your lawnmower use the best small engine oil - AMSOIL. Specifically, see below why selecting AMSOIL Small-engine oil is an outstanding choice - truly the best small engine oil.

Make sure to change oil before storing equipment. Used oil contains acidic byproducts that can damage the engine if allowed to sit for months.

If you neglected to change oil in your lawnmower or other equipment prior to fall storage, now is a great time to do that.

Use a high-quality small-engine oil, not simply an inexpensive automotive oil

While easy to assume small equals simple when it comes to engines, the opposite is often true.

AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic oil demonstrating it is best small engine oil for your lawn mower.

Compared to liquid-cooled automotive engines, air-cooled small engines run hotter, operate under constant load, generate more contaminants (with many not using a filter). They are also exposed to mud, dirt and rain. Plus, they’re often overlooked when it comes to maintenance.

Most small-engine oils, however, are just re-labeled automotive oils, which are formulated with fuel economy in mind, not engine durability.

AMSOIL Synthetic Small-Engine Oil, in contrast, is NOT merely a re-labeled automotive oil – it’s designed specifically for the unique demands of small engines. It contains a heavy dose of zinc anti-wear additives to protect against wear for maximum power and engine life. It also contains potent detergency additives to fight harmful deposits.

Look at the bottom image of the valve-guide area in a Honda* 5-hp engine tested in the AMSOIL mechanical lab. A competitor’s oil resulted in heavy deposits that caused the valve to stick. In fact, the technician who tore down the engine couldn’t remove the valve due to excessive deposits. Had this engine been in the field, it would have been a matter of time before it failed, leading to a costly repair or replacement. AMSOIL 10W-30 Synthetic Small-Engine Oil, in contrast, minimized deposits and kept the engine running strong.

Make sure your fleet of small engine powered equipment is protected – choose AMSOIL. Absolutely, best small engine oil.

“Easier starts in cold weather and the ultimate in protection at any temperature. Zero wear on my small engines and most are over 10 yrs old.”
