Its easy to over-simplify the issues.
How cold is cold?
How long has the engine been setting?
Thinking helps.
Got the lawnmower today shipped via UPS. This way I paid no taxes/ shipping was free. Much better deal than what others had locally such as HD and Lowes. I knew it would come with some straight 30 weight oil to put in. And it did. I will try to get around to posting/ uploading a photo of the oil container. I am not saying it’s any special kind of 30 weight oil. The WalMart 30 weight looks like just what I should use.
