Type of oil for my Hayter Motif 48

Hello, I was hoping for a bit of advice please. I emptied the oil out of the Hayter today. I went to put to put fresh oil in but it was red coloured so through me off a bit. I'll attached a photo of the bottle. I've knackered tools before trying to 'maintain' them so thought I'd ask before I started her up! Anyway any advice is welcome. I looked online first but it was a bit confusing. 

Best wishes 

Sam

  • The container is correct although I associate a red colour with 2 stroke oil. Did you buy the oil new or was it a hand me down ?. If there is a foil type seal on the bottle under the cap then must assume it's just the colour the manufacturer uses.

    If it were me I'd get some fully synthetic 10w/30 or 15-40 at a push.
    I put 10w/30 in all the small 4 stroke engines I've got.
    • Groundsman four stroke is the normal 'oil' colour.

      Groundsman two stroke is red.

  • Thanks for your thoughts. It was new but was open in my shed. Who knows what's happened but I think I'll get it out of the mower and buy a fresh bottle. ( I fortunately got called away before I started it up, so will just drain it out) thanks again
