Ayuh,...

Oil is a Very personal Choice, that leads to Major Arguements on forums....

Basically,... Your motor will run Just Fine, with a steady diet of Any oil you want to use.....
So long as it's kept Fresh,+ Clean.....

Personally,..... I use Mobil 1, 15W-50.....

Re: oil

I'm with Bondo on the oil. As for fuel in the oil I'd start taking a hard look at the carb.

Or the fuel pump. Any gas in that clear yellow hose going to the carb from the fuel pump? The fuel pump can also fail where it will allow fuel to go directly into the crankcase.
