Can you use nondetergent oil in a ride on lawn mower with Briggs and Stratton engine?

It is not recommended to use nondetergent oil in a Briggs & Stratton engine. Briggs & Stratton engines require detergent oil to keep the engine clean and free of deposits. Nondetergent oils do not contain the necessary additives to keep the engine clean and can cause the engine to run poorly or even damage it.

Briggs & Stratton recommends using a SAE 30 or 10W-30 detergent oil in their engines. These oils are specifically designed for use in small engines and will help to keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently.
