What oil for a four-stroke petrol lawnmower?

Most internal combustion mowers have four-stroke engines that require classic engine oil (no mixture). The most commonly used and recommended is:

🔧 SAE30 oil for four-stroke engines - CEDRUS 600 ml
🔧 SAE30 BRIGGS&STRATTON oil 0.6 liters

CEDRUS SAE30 oil provides effective lubrication at temperatures from 5°C to 35°C. Protects the engine from wear and tear, reduces friction and increases component life.


What oil for a rotary mower?

Rotary mowers are high-powered machines, often working in difficult conditions. Require regular oil changes - preferably every 20-30 hours of operation.

Best choice:
CEDRUS SAE30 oil - ideal for most garden engines
✅ Alternatively: 10W30 or 10W40 oils - in case of operation in variable temperatures (it is worth checking the recommendations of the equipment manufacturer)


What oil for a two-stroke mower?

If you have equipment with a two-stroke engine, such as an older mower, you need to use a 2T oil for fuel-oil mixture.

CEDRUS 2T oil for two-stroke engines
➡️ Typical mix ratio: 1:50 (20 ml of oil per 1 liter of fuel)
‼️ This type of oil must not be used in four-stroke engines!


What oil for a garden tractor?

Lawn mowing tractors are powerful equipment with long working hours. Need an oil with excellent lubricating properties.

Best choice:
🛠️ SAE30 for four-stroke engines - 1L Krysiak
➡️ Recommended replacement every 25-30 hours of operation

The same oil fits many models of garden tractors available at Ewimax store.
