personally wouldn't use 'magnatec' in a lawn mower.............plenty of other semi-synths out there that are better/cheaper IMO...........

my recomend would be a full synth (grade dependant on use/driving style) - 10w40, 15w50, etc..........from either Millers or Motul............

I'd use a fully synthetic by the likes of Motul, Silkolene or Mobil but use the correct grade for your car. There is a list on here, do a search.
