Used oil container

I use brand new synthetic oil in mine, because I can afford oil. I caint afford another lawnmower motor. Being air cooled, they need all the help they can get, so I use Royal Purple. Mowers usually get neglected anyway so if it has good oil in it, I worry less.
Yea I was just kidding. I dont do that. I use Briggs specific oil i wiped a cam in my lawnmower a couple summers ago and had to do a complete rebuild. I got to reading about it and apparently regular ole sae oil cant withstand the heat of an air cooled engine. Who knew? When i changed the oil this spring there was alot of metal in my oil again im hoping its just the new cam breaking in and not wiping another lobe. I readjusted the rockers and they seems fine and i mowed all year without a problem i will change it again next spring we will see. My mower is a big ole pos so i won't be to upset if it is i will just rebuild it again haha
