    Grass cutting time again and I want to change the oil but have lost the manual for my Castelgarden ride-on.

    What type of oil do I get for it? I remember it had to be a non-synthetic oil but cannot remember other than that.

    SAE30 , SAE 30 oil is often specified for small air-cooled engines in lawnmowers, garden tractors, portable generators etc.
    Careful not to over fill.

    Happy Mowing!

    yep, you're using the wrong stuff.
    SAE30 only for 4 stroke air cooled small engines.
