How much oil do I need to put in a 5hp push mower?

Question

and what kind of oil is best to use?

Answer 1

first find the oil cap and see if there is any info on the cap like "use xx oil"   then see if there is a dip stick attached to the cap. If there is a stick there should be a full line on it.  pour a little at a time till you reach the full mark. If you go to the hardware store and ask them what oil to use or look on the shelves for lawnmower oil.  Or google the brand mover.

Answer 2

Odds are you need about18-20 ounces of SAE 30 engine oil

Answer 3

Pour it in until it fills to the top. Simply put. Clean any oil that overflows
