Briggs & Stratton Model 80000 125cc push mower
Out: the oil that came with the lawn mower when I bought it last year (Briggs and Stratton SAE 30W)
In:
VP 4-Cycle SAE 30/10W30 Full Synthetic (bought at Walmart for about $5 for 18 oz).
Also replaced the spark plug and air filter. Started on the first pull with a plume of white smoke, then ran like a champ for the first mowing of the spring.
Anyone know anything about this oil? I'm guessing it's pretty decent as far as 4-cycle oils go?
edit: first time changing oil in this mower. I spent several minutes looking for a drain plug and reading through the manual only to discover I have to physically lift up the lawn mower, flip it over, and pour the oil out of the fill hole. LOL.
