You will get a difference of opinion on this thread no doubt I have always used castrol rs 10/60 in mine but it is now called castrol edge 10/60

Millers 10/60 for mine. There is a thread on 'which oil' in the tech section!
Its a good thread with all the tech stuff on oil. Left me with my head battered!

anything with 50 or 60 at the end is the easiest answer

Mobile 1 or Castrol Edge. I started using mobile 1 15w50 but switched to the Castrol edge 10w60 which gives better oil pressure at idle - but thats not always a good thing as some people think it is too thick.

I wouldn't use castrol or mobil in me lawnmower.
I have used both in the past, castrol's former oil RS10/60 was a joke, turned to dishwater when hot, mobil just massively overated, and not particularly good or well specced.
My fave without a doubt is SUNOCCO, but very hard to get hold of, so presently using Silk Pro S.

Mobil 1 Motorsport for me and never given me any problems. Also recommended by several of the 'Cowsorth' tuners.

I am not saying it is the wrost oil but is massively outclassed in the top performing oil category by everything I have ever read, I only read independant stuff nothing biased.
