Here is a general guideline for choosing oil for Dixon mowers:
- Dixon mowers with Briggs & Stratton engines: SAE 30 weight oil, API service classification SJ, SH, SG
- Dixon mowers with Kohler engines: SAE 30 weight oil, API service classification SJ, SH, SG, or SL
- Dixon mowers with Kawasaki engines: SAE 10W-30 weight oil, API service classification SJ, SH, SG, or SL
For best results, use a high-quality oil specifically designed for air-cooled engines. Avoid using automotive oil in your Dixon mower, as it may not provide the necessary protection for the engine.
It is important to change the oil in your Dixon mower regularly according to the maintenance schedule specified in the owner's manual. This will help keep the engine running smoothly and prevent costly repairs.
