Lawn Mower Oil

In order to function properly, lawn mowers, like most motorized machines, need an engine oil. Generally lawn mowers nowadays have a 4-stroke engine, but there are still lawn mowers that are driven by a 2-stroke engine, although these are becoming increasingly rare. Since both engines are different in the way they work, they consequently need different engine oils.

2-stroke engine oils for lawn mowers

In 2-stroke engines, the correct lubrication is provided by a mixture of petrol and 2-stroke oil, which is burned during the combustion process. The 2-stroke oil is either mixed „by hand“ with the petrol or the lawn mower has an extra tank, from where the 2-stroke oil is automatically mixed by a pump to the petrol. It is important to make sure that the correct mixing ratio of petrol and 2-stroke oil is used. The correct mixing ratio can be generally found in the manufacturer’s instructions.

4-stroke engine oils for lawn mowers

As mentioned at the beginning, 4-stroke engines in lawn mowers are more common today than 2-stroke engines. Similar to passenger cars, the petrol and engine oil are being held in separate containers, so that the engine oil is not burned, but instead remains in the engine and is responsible for the lubrication of the engine.

Lawn mower oil SAE 30

In order to determine the correct engine oil for the lawn mower, it is always advisable to first have a look at the lawn mower’s manual.

Generally speaking however, it is recommended to use an engine oil with the viscosity class SAE 30 if you have a lawn mower with a 4-stroke engine. A lawn mower oil SAE 30 can be found in every well-stocked online shop. A SAE 30 engine oil is referred to as a monograde oil, which is usually only suitable for operation in the warm months. A SAE 30 lawnmower oil is therefore suitable from spring to autumn. Alternatively, a multigrade oil (e.g. 10W-30 – formulated for use throughout the year) can also be used. However, this is only advisable if it is recommended ine the user manual of the lawn mower.

Ravenol is a trademark of Ravensberger Schmierstoffvertrieb GmbH, located in Werther. High quality lubricants are produced in Germany and sold in the domestic as well as worldwide. After the founding in 1946 Ravenol developed and produced only single-grade engine oils and various cleaning agents. In 1964, after the company's expansion, multigrade oils of SAE classes 10W-30 and 20W-50 have been added to the product range. In the 90s, began the global orientation of the brand Ravenol and the products "Made in Germany" have been distributed internationally. The high product quality is thereby certified by 3 certifications. This is, the ISO / TS 16949 certificate, which includes DIN EN ISO 9001. The ultra-modern Laboratium of Ravenol is certified by DIN EN ISO / IEC 17025. With this high quality standard there are multiple approvals by various OEMs such as Daimler, Chrysler, VW, BMW, Porsche, MAN, Volvo, MTU, Deutz, ZF, Steyr Motors, Cummins, and many other. Furthermore the products of Ravenol are listed in NMMA (National Marine Manufacturers Association) and API (American Petroleum Institute).

A special feature of Ravenol is the CleanSynto formulation. For this purpose, synthetic base oils are blended with premium additives of CleanSynto technology so soot and dirt deposits are reduced. The oils of Ravenol extend the oil change intervals and engine life while reducing operating costs. In addition, the company from East Westphalia has been able to land another technological coup in recent years. With the unique USVO technology the quality of some engine oils could be raised to an even higher level. USVO stands for Ultra Strong Viscosity Oil. Primarily the new technology achieves an extreme stability of the viscosity, which protects the engine even more. This is particularly interesting for high power peaks and longer operation.
