Question by Jake J: What kind of oil do I need for my Husqvarna 961320016 lawn mower?
I bought this mower off a guy earlier this year, the oil was full but now I’m have to refill it and I don’t know where to find the info on this mower!
I bought this mower off a guy a couple of months back, I used the oil he said to use it ran ok for about 3 weeks, now it just sputters when I try to start it white smoke comes spewing out of the exhaust, and she doesn’t want to kick over, I tried replacing the spark plug and I cleaned the carburetor but it still sputters for a minute then conks out!

Briggs, Kohler, and Tecumseh all recommend 30wt oil above 32 degrees. Don’t overfill it.

    Any regular automotive oil will do, the viscosity depends on your local climate. For warmer climates use 10w-40 or straight 30 weight, for cooler climates use 10w-30, straight 30 or 0w-40. I personally use Mobil One brand full synthetic, it will last longer and keep the engine cleaner internally. The oil capacity for that engine should be 20 oz, do not overfill.
