Pardon if this is a stupid question (wanna buy this for my dad), I understand that this states that it takes oil--but does it also take gas, too? Thx

It takes oil. When my arrived, an oil was provided. It only takes gas to run. Don't mix the oil and gas. There are two separate spots for the oil and gas. It's a great mower. I haven't had any issues.

Yep it takes both but weve used ours all summer with less that a gallon of gas. The oil comes with it though when you order it.

It comes with oil that you add to the engine crankcase....very easy to do. You will need to buy gas for the engine. You do not need to mix oil with the gas.

Hope I did not say anything crazy. The Poulan runs on gas. Oil is also required in the little oil receptacle to keep the motor cool.

Engine oil must be added BEFORE using the mower. Then use unleaded gasoline. It is not necessary to add 2-strke oil to the gasoline since the engine oil lubricates all moving engine parts.

Yes it does use gas, but the good news is that I,'ve found that it doesn't use much gas plus its very easy to push. I, too, bought a mower for my Dad about 35 years ago.

Yes it is gas powered. I have almost 3/4 acre yard, and it only uses a little over 1 tank of gas. It is VERY good on gas! I have used it 4 times now and I'm extremely satisfied!

Yes it is not an electric mower it is a gas mower! It needs both: gas and oil.

Im-friggin-possible! Who put two cycle fuel in the gas tank? To my knowledge the only way oil gets into gas is if you have a multi cylinder engine and one of the spark plugs is not firing.

Actually it uses both! I love to take mine camping with me. I recommend you bring plenty of propane since this does use a lot of fuel. I recommend buying this to help with marathons!

I don't believe its designed for gas as it would probably damage the impeller. Also gas is flammable and dissolves oils. Diesel is an oil which lubricates the pump.

The generator listed #56352 is a gas unit. No oil mixing with gas. It runs on regular.

Yes you have to mix the oil with the gas. If you don't you will burn up the motor. I use 87.

This was bought a gift for my son in Kuwait. I was there to help him to assemble. The unit was setup for propane. If you order this unit, it has to specify natural gas.

Yes it can use gas. If you purchase the gas unit which is not included in the base model.Read carefully the details of the item under what's included. If uncertain contact the seller.

To my knowledge it is for gas only. When selecting any device please refer to your model and the appropriate accessories to be absolutely sure for an exact fit.

It's not recommend . I was told by the company to use an Ethanol treatment in the gas. This generator you do not mix oil in the gas . That means it needs oil put in it .

I purchased this unit for my wife's birthday. I assembled it at the camp ground. It's electric. The griddle worked fine! I'm not sure how the gas version would work.Mike!

Yes it's dual fuel. You can use propane or natural gas, but only one at a time. There are two separate intake valves, natural gas or propane. One gets hooked up the other gets plugged.

only 2 cycle oil additive for gas but also read reviews, mine never ran properly (total run time about 30 minutes over several weeks) and now just collects dust. manufacture does not stand behind their product either.

Please don't buy this machine. Yes it can , but the fuel system dissolves in gasoline. the gas cap and fuel line break down if I don't drain the fuel when I store it for a month or so. I have had two gas leaks so far.

You use just regular gas, don't forget to fill it with oil before starting. And don't overfill the oil, its worse than under filled. Use 30 wt oil, any brand!

You can double check what the label states on the gas tank or the fuel cap - But the manual states that it runs on: REGULAR UNLEADED GAS. (i.e., low octane grade gasoline.) It should come pre-filled with engine oil, but it should always be checked before use.Its a great machine with one issue in changing the belt (loosen or remove all the engine bolts when you need to do that, just a pain in the rear). This machine can have all minor and some more serious problems or issues fixed by a handy person. It is a great deal in terms of value for the dollar.

mr Sherwood this can be used for any type of gasoline and does a great gob. I would order a nother one. I don't used it with oil. I have a electric pump. but this is the best I ever used. I hope I anser your questing bob
