The crankcase would use standard engine oil (NOT 2 cycle oil to mix with gas)... A synthetic oil would probably be overkill... a 'natural' oil with Low viscosity (Cold weather performance) like 5w-30... see what's available and ask at the counter... most CAR Part suppliers Know their stuff (walmart clerks are less informed)Helpful Reply -

Peter is correct. You need a light weight oil that's used in chain saws and other power tools. Your local hardware store can help you out.Helpful Reply -

I agree with Peter. Regular 5W-30 motor oil is a standard. If its a 2 cycle engine oil needs to be mixed with the gas. Use 2 cycle engine oil. Amount is based on your model.Helpful Reply -
