I just got a Lawn boy 10247 and I've never owned a lawn boy before and I hear great things about lawn boy oil. I hear it smells good too, should I pick some up?
Thanks,
Paul

I haven't seen it anywhere although I haven't been actually looked for it either. If you can find it. Why not?

We all have our favorites, but you can't argue with 40 year old Lawn Boys still running using their oil...

just find a oil on the shelf that is JASO FC/FD rated and use it, it can be purchased at parts stores usually available in quart or pint bottles.

Try A.C.E or A.C.O hardware stores. I've purchased it there before, however the container didn't say LawnBoy generation II ashless oil as it did in the past. I currently use Valvoline multi-purpose 2 stroke oil.

I'll snap a pic tomorrow morning of the newer Lawn Boy oil. I work at a grocery store that has an Ace Hardware attached to it.

The mega corporation we all know, Amazon, has it. I've ordered it from them.

If you want the original that came in cans, you can find these usually on eBay.

I've personally switched to Synthetic. I'm tired of cleaning exhaust ports and mufflers twice a year just to keep things running.

I know that I need to, but since I don't the necessary tool and material I've never cleaned my Lawn-Boy's exhaust port and it still runs fine, I must be lucky. Any particular brand of synthetic? Does it need to be 2-cycle synthetic? Is it mixed at 32:1 or a different ratio?
