Thanks for the advice! I was SO close to putting WD-40 in there. Glad I didn't! :) |

Read Above... Normal 3-in-1 oil does gum. The MOTOR variety does not. It's explicitly designed for sleeve motor bearings. |

Louis is correct! At the convention, Mike Rogers did one of the clinics and non-detergent SAE 30 oil is what he suggested you use. Louis is quoting word for word what Mike told us. Most lawn mowers, if you read the manual, tell you to use SAE 30 Non-detergent oil. Unless of course you are using a good mower such as a Lawn-Boy...then you would use their brand of 2 cycle - ashless oil. Morgan |

Sorry to revive a long dead post but I have information directly from the user manual that came with my Royal 993 and 880. According to the book it says to use sae 30 motor oil and not to use thin or sewing machine type oils.
