When i bought my tiger cub the dealer gave me John Deere Turf-Gard 10w-30 oil for it so ive just been using that. You can get it at home dept

I've always heard to use SAE 30 in mowers... but I know a few mowers the manual says to use something different. You might want to just contact ur dealer or a scag dealer somewhere near u... just to be safe

You Can Download The Manual On The Scag Website. My Scag Recomends Sae 30 If It Is Regular Oil And 10w30 If It Is Synthetic. I Use Mobil 1 10w30 Full Synthetic And Have Had Good Results.

SAE-30 is recommended for your engine however 10w30 or 10w40 can be used depending on weather conditions. If you do use a multiweight oil such as 10w30 they say to check the oil level more often as these engines supposidly consume more 10w30 than SAE 30. I run 10w30 fully synthetic in mine and it doesnt use any oil at all from what I can tell.

10-30 Amsoil (1.8 qt) on both 17 kawi FH500v & 23 Kawi FH680v.
The 17 kawi has been getting Amsoil since July 2004, and has been faithfully cut like race horse!

I have less than 10 hours on my Scag Cub, and for the first oil change, I am going with Mbil 1 10W30

I run Quaker State 10W-30 in all of my Kawasaki engines...I've had no problems at all so far! The mechanic at my dealer recommended 10W-30 over SAE 30 for Kawasaki and Briggs engines.

Maybe that mechanic needs to find his service manual, SAE 30 above 40 degrees, 10w-30 below 40.

I'm with Rob. That is what the manual calls for. I believe dealer use 10W30 because they are not sure if you will run your mower in the fall or not. 10w30 is a safe bet for them. The Kaw manual says if you use 10w30 check the oil more often because the engine will use oil a little faster.

What the dealers don't give out the manuals anymore?
I use SAE 30 in everything I own. Simple easy and it is what the manual says to use in almost all motors unless real hot conditions then SAE 40.
