Is this a 2 cycle or 4 cycle motor? In other words do I have to mix oil with the Gas, or does it take Straight gas?

Use straight gas. It has a separate oil reservoir and dipstick, like a car.

It takes Straight gas. However, this mower is unsafe. It very light up front. Mine has flipped over on me once and almost a second time. I would suggest that unless you have a very flat area to mow that you chose another type of mower. I wouldn't buy this mower again.

I think when you mix oil with gasoline it's a 2 cycle engine--- if so, that is what this is.

Sorry Donald S., I have know idea what a 2 cycle engine is. It seems to work pretty good though. One of my guy friends fixed the wheel for me so that turned out good. I have about a half acre to mow and it plows right through the grass with no problem. It seems to be pretty good on gas too. If it weren't self propelled though, I would never be able to finish the lawn. The key starter works like a charm too. Sorry I can't help you more.

It is a two cycle, so has no oil in the crankcase. The two cycle oil is mixed with the fuel.

no you don't. if you look close to the left tire there's a little cap. in there goes the gear oil that came with your machine. the gas is straight. just fill the gas tank with gas only.

I would say yes. should work just fine. Mix ratio is 24:1 to 100:1 I use it my model plane gas engines @ 32:1 and it is very clean burning. The best 2 cycle oil I have used. Used to run honda HP2 for years but like this much better. Hope this helps

You use just regular gas, don't forget to fill it with oil before starting. And don't overfill the oil, its worse than under filled. Use 30 wt oil, any brand!

It's a four stroke. So no oil in gas. And I'm using a air cooled small engine oil.

It does not require mixing oil with gas if that answers your question. In any event, if it's not too late, return the mower and get a model that has front wheel drive and a side discharge option. You'll be glad you did.

The instructions recommend you shut off the gas and run the motor out of gas each time you shut it off.. They really know what \they arte talking about.. On start up it always starts second-third pull. Runs great and is economical on fuel

Regular gas works fine, you do not need to mix on this mower this is a 4 cycle engine. The mower comes with an octane enhancer (packet) and I added it for the first couple fill-ups, but it is not needed. I've been using it for about a year and it starts with the first pull. Remember to change the oil at the start of every season.

No this has a four stroke motor it uses straight regular unleaded gas. The crank case uses 10w40

Yes, it's a 2 stroke engine. You mix 50:1 2 stroke oil. I almost feel if you're asking this type of question this blower might be a bit out of your league, and I don't mean anything by that comment. This is a pro blower it's very powerful / heavy but comfortable on your back.

Suzuki Marine 4 Cycle Engine Oil 10W-40. It does not mix with or burn with the gas. Its just like a car engine

The machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine and must always been run using a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine oil. It is important to accurately measure the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct mixture is obtained. The Owners Manual describes fully the fuel/oil mixing ratios.

It's a 4-cycle engine not a 2-cycle engine so it needs oil for the engine crankcase. You do not have to mix the gas.

I'm using 30 weight oil. The unit is NOT a 2 stroke engine that burns a mix of oil and gas. The oil is for lubrication only.
