Understanding the Oil Requirements
1. Walk-Behind & Push Mowers
Most walk-behind mowers like the TB110, TB115, and TB130 require 15 to 18 ounces of oil. These are typically small, single-cylinder engines that don’t need a lot of oil but still require regular changes every 25–50 hours of use.
2. Self-Propelled Mowers
These models have slightly larger engines. Honda and Briggs engines on models like the TB270 XP or TB370 require up to 20 ounces of oil. Make sure to level your mower and use a dipstick to verify the oil level after filling.

3. Riding Mowers
Troy-Bilt’s riding mowers like the TB30 R, Pony, Bronco, and Super Bronco typically require 48 ounces (1.42 liters) of oil. Always ensure to check for the exact engine model (547cc or 679cc) to determine the precise amount.
4. Zero-Turn Mowers
Zero-turn mowers such as the Mustang Z42, Z50, or XP have larger twin-cylinder engines with up to 64 oz (1.89 L) of oil capacity. Regular oil maintenance is especially crucial in these commercial-style engines due to their higher workload.

Best Practices for Oil Maintenance
- Change Oil Regularly: Replace the oil every 25–50 hours of use or at least once every season.
- Check Before Each Use: Especially if the mower has been idle for long.
- Use Proper Viscosity: SAE 30 for warm temperatures, 10W-30 for a broader range.
- Don’t Overfill: Too much oil can cause engine damage or smoking.
- Store Properly: Drain oil before winter storage to avoid degradation.

Can I use 10W-40 instead of 10W-30 in my lawn mower?
Technically, yes, you can use 10W-40, but it’s not recommended unless specified by the engine manufacturer.
- 10W-30 is ideal for most temperatures and widely recommended.
- 10W-40 is thicker and may not flow as well in colder starts, which could affect lubrication in small engines.
How much oil does a Troy-Bilt 547cc engine take?
A Troy-Bilt 547cc engine, used in models like the Pony and Bronco, typically takes 48 oz (1.42 liters) of oil. Use SAE 30 or 10W-30 oil as recommended.
What is the oil ratio for Troy-Bilt?
If you’re using a 2-cycle (2-stroke) Troy-Bilt tool like a string trimmer or blower, the typical oil-to-gas ratio is:
- 40:1 or 50:1, depending on the model.
- However, Troy-Bilt lawn mowers are 4-cycle, meaning they have separate oil and fuel, no mixing required.
