If it is new it will call for a detergent oil. Any good grade of 30 weight motor oil will work fine. Each time you use the mower, check the oil level first. The oil should be changed after 20 hours of use. Also after each use, wash it down top and bottom. Your mower will last for years if kept clean and the oil changed.

If you can't find anything specific for lawn mowers, ask the sales people at the auto store such as Napa or Auto Zone or Checker Auto.
