Today I’m going to show you a comparison between the Briggs and Stratton Premium 4-cycle small engine oil, which is the SAE 30, and what I’m going to be doing is comparing that to Mobil-1 10W-30 full synthetic vs Redline.
I use Marvel Mystery Oil in all my small engines inside my cars, too, because I use 20% of my oil capacity. This thing takes about 20 ounces, so what I do is I put 16 ounces of oil, and I put four ounces of Marvel Mystery Oil (I am running TrueFuel, which is non-ethanol based fuel. too).
So what are we going to do? Just put different oil in mower and check the sound!
Sound of Briggs and Stratton Premium Oil in Mower
That is about five minutes of running. Just wanted to let you know what it sounds like and how it idles out and how it smooths itself out. Sounds pretty good!
Key Features:
- Detergent oil: best formula for great performance in air-cooled engines
- Type: SAE 30 for small engines
- 48 oz. bottle
Sound of Mobile-1 Oil in Mower
I’m going to take the oil that’s inside now, do an oil change. I’m going to put Mobil-1 Synthetic 10W-30 in, and again, this was Briggs motor oil. This was just regular SAE 30, regular oil, non-synthetic.
I just did an oil change with Mobil-1, and as you can see, it is super clean, very friendly, clean oil, which is what you want in your engine.
Key Features:
- Full synthetic motor oil
- SAE 10W-30
- Using in cars and mowers
- Popular world brand name
There is what it sounds like with the Mobil-1.
Sound of Redline 10W-30 Oil in Mower
This is the final oil change I’m going to do on mower.
Okay, so that was the final test, and that is with Redline 10W-30 fully synthetic oil, and it does seem like the motor is a little bit louder. That’s partly because I put a mulching blade on there, a Gator G3, and the other thing is if you notice there is a red piece on the mower, which is the cap where the bag is supposed to go.
So instead of having a mulching plug, it’s a cover that goes on, and it’s got a mulching plug built into the bottom of it so that you don’t have to use a bagger anymore, and all the clippings and everything stays inside the deck.
So, partly because of those two things, it’s going to seem a little bit louder.
Key Features:
- Full Synthetic Oil
- 32 Ounce
- SAE 10W-30 (better hot weather protection)
- You can use it in karts, mowers etc
But honestly, it felt like the motor had a lot more power too. I can’t explain it. It’s just one of those things where I use the mower, I went through we grass like it was nothing, and it just was incredible.
Final Words
The winner is Redline.
I happen to prefer Redline because that is some of the best oil in the world right now. So, those are my findings. Ever since I’ve been using it, I haven’t been burning any oil hardly, and it’s just running incredibly. So I just wanted to give a thumbs up to Redline and Mobil-1 and Toro for making such a fantastic lawnmower. Take care!
